Freak Carwash Accident Kills 1 Worker, Injures A 2nd

ROCKVILLE, Md. - A freak crash at the Flagship Carwash Center leaves one man dead and another severely injured.

The two workers ended up pinned underneath a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
 
The accident occurred at 5:40 p.m. Wednesday at the carwash on Hungerford Drive as another worker drove the customer's tan vehicle from the exit of the automated wash track to the drying area.
 
After the Jeep struck the employees, it dragged them across the road. The vehicle then struck a telephone pole support cable on the north side of Frederick Avenue.
 
Firefighters quickly freed the trapped men, but Hyattsville resident Gavino Euseda, 48, died shortly after being taken to Suburban Hospital, according to Montgomery County Police.
 
Police say Euseda was the second man struck by the vehicle. The first, Oscar Eusebio, 44, of D.C. remains in critical condition.
