Woman Trapped And Critically Injured In Car Wash
A woman in Marion County, Fla., was critically injured when she was pulled into and trapped in a brush at a car wash.
Ocala, Florida - Police said a woman working at Soapy's Car Wash Thursday somehow became trapped in the machine used to wash vehicles.
The woman apparently became entangled in a hose that pulled her into a spinning brush called a Gyro.
A manager was able to shut the equipment off with an emergency button and call 911.
Ocala Fire Rescue and paramedics needed 45 minutes to free the woman.
Her legs were crushed by the machine.
She was transported by helicopter to the University of Florida's Shands Hospital in Gainesville, where she was listed in critical condition.
Soapy's Car Wash equipment was expected to be out of service until representatives from OSHA arrived at the location Friday.
