ESCONDIDO, Calif. (KNX) – A 56-year-old man died in an Escondido car wash late Friday night, authorities said.
Escondido Police responded to the self-service car wash located on East Valley Parkway after receiving a report of an unresponsive man.
When police arrived, they found the male victim trapped between his 2014 Scion XB and the car wash machinery.
“The preliminary investigation indicated that the man drove into the car wash and for an unknown reason, tried to exit his vehicle,” the department said.
“The vehicle then rolled forward, pinning the man between the car and the machinery. It does not appear the car wash had been activated at the time of the collision.”
The victim’s name has not been released.
The incident is under investigation.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Traffic Investigator Pete McCollough at 760-839-4930.
