Employee Dies after Being Struck by Vehicle in Car Wash

Employee #1 was entering customer information into the computer at a car wash and detail center, and his back was to the cars in the vacuum and wash line. The owner of a 2003 Toyota Land Crusier mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal and the car accelerated and struck Employee #1, crushing his abdomen into the stainless steel computer shelf that was mounted on the exterior wall of the car wash. He was transported to Jersey City Medical Center, where he died from his injuries.
