Car Wash Worker Dies After Being Struck in Northeast Philadelphia

An employee of a Northeast Philadelphia car wash died Monday morning after police say two cars going through the wash struck him.

Police said the incident happened shortly before noon at the Krewsin Klean Car Wash on Krewstown Road near Surrey when the 22-year-old worker was drying a gray Dodge Durango's rear windows. The truck somehow struck the worker, police said, before a red Honda Accord exited the car wash and struck him again.

Medics pronounced the man dead of his injuries at 11:59 a.m. at the car wash. Police are investigating the incident.
