Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:00 p.m. on March 28, 1985, Employee #1, a wiper at Don's Auto Wash, was drying the rear of a large Cadillac. Unknown to him, a coworker was driving a large Oldsmobile from the automatic wash line to the drying/wiping area and planning to park behind the Cadillac. The Oldsmobile hit the Cadillac, severely damaging both cars. Employee #1's legs were caught between the vehicles and crushed. Since the accident, his condition has been upgraded from critical to serious to satisfactory, although his legs were injured so severely that doctors were not sure if either of them could be saved. The cause of the accident remains unclear. Employee #1 saw and heard nothing unusual prior to impact. The young driver was fired immediately and left town with no forwarding address.
