Video: Elderly man speeds through car wash at 40 mph


A 94-year-old man ripped through a Sacramento car wash at 40 mph on Friday before crashing into a wall, according to Fox 40.

After paying for the wash, the man took off and could not get his foot off the gas. He then slammed into a wall on the other side of the car wash.

No one was hurt, but a car wash employee said someone had pulled out of the parking lot just a few seconds before impact.

Car washes are no stranger to dramatic crashes. One crash set a Massachusetts gas station on fire last month, and employees sprinted to drag her to safety.

Also last month, a car wash in Pennsylvania exploded, injuring two people and destroying the building.
