Automatic car wash smashes windscreen
( 2003-11-25 17:09) (China Daily)
A routine car wash turned
into a frightening experience for a couple whose new car was damaged when the
machine malfunctioned while they sat inside the sedan, reports Beijing Star
Daily.
Yu and his wife drove their brand new Volkswagen Passat into the car wash
over the weekend. But the bar that shoots jets of water onto the vehicle
suddenly hit and cracked the front window as the car continued to move forward
on the conveyer belt.
In his panic, Yu jammed on the brakes to try to stop the car.
He told the paper that if they had kept moving forward, the machine would
have washed him and his wife rather than the car.
