The employee later stated that he contracted bacterial meningitis from dirty water when he was cleaning the car wash pit nightly from October 9 through 16, 2021, as he developed gangrene on his upper and lower extremities. The employee was treated first at a local hospital for four days before being transferred to the University of California's Irvine Medical Center for three weeks. It is not definitively known where the employee was exposed to bacterial meningitis.
