Car Wash Damaged Car
Around 6pm Friday at the Circle K gas station next to Publix on Wedgewood Lane off 466, the car wash damaged a car being washed. The overhead roller crashed into the front windshield cracking severely and pressing inwards as well as denting the roof. The owner said the store admitted the wash was broken, but it was not shut off or blocked. As not on the street the damage is not a traffic incident involving police, just a civil matter.
I had never heard of such a mechanical failure in these car washes, and would have thought they were "fail safe".
While conveniently located for me, and inepensive, I think I will stick to the specialty car washes not added on to gas stations.
