Officials claimed a man was killed inside a Southern California car wash after getting out of his vehicle and being crushed against machinery.

According to authorities, the deadly collision occurred late Friday at a self-service car wash in Escondido’s 2100 block of East Valley Parkway, which is about 35 miles north of downtown San Diego and 110 miles south of central Los Angeles.

According to a police statement, the unidentified man, 56, became “caught between a 2014 Scion XB and a section of 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 statement continued.

“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 was pinned against an unknown piece of machinery.

On Monday, investigators and representatives for the car wash were unavailable for comment.
