A California man was crushed to death Friday after he got out of his car while it was inside an automatic car wash.
His body may have been inside the station for upwards of 30 minutes before being discovered, police said.
On Friday night, members of the Escondido Police Department responded to the Pearl self-service car wash at 2189 East Valley Parkway, where they found the body of a 56-year-old man, who’s name was not immediately released.
The man became ‘trapped between a 2014 Scion XB and a part of the car wash machinery,’ according to a press release.
