A FORTY-SEVEN-year-old Guyanese man, who was waiting at a Brooklyn bus stop, was killed when a car wash worker lost control of an SUV, jumped the curb and pinned him to a building in Brooklyn, New York (NY), according to Daily News.
Dead is Omesh Persaud also called “Fatman” of Jamaica Queens, New York. The crash happened on Atlantic Ave. and Milford St. in East New York on Friday last.
Persaud died at the scene. The driver was taken by medics to the Jamaica Hospital and is in stable condition.
According to Daily News, the 64-year-old car wash worker was in the driver’s seat of a Jeep Liberty Commander as it was being scrubbed in a drive-through car wash.

After the car was scrubbed clean, the car wash worker peeled out of the business.
The car hit the man at the bus stop, pinning him to a building that houses a furniture store, police said.
The owner of the Jeep told the Daily News she and her husband frequent the car wash where an employee sits in the vehicle while it is moved forward by a track system.

After a car is scrubbed clean, the car wash employees are supposed to exit the vehicles in the parking lot.
This time, the woman received a call from her husband that there had been a horrible accident, her car was totaled and a man was dead.
“I got here and I was just like, that is my car,” the bewildered woman said, pointing at her destroyed car surrounded by NYPD tarps designed to shield deceased accident victims. “Even if it wasn’t totaled I wouldn’t drive it after this.”
The car has a Chrysler Hemi engine which provides more power than a conventional engine, the owner said. She said the car wash worker might not have realised how much power the engine has.

“He must have lost control and he just tried to turn and he hit the man,” she said. “It’s a powerful car.”
The NYPD collision investigation squad is still investigating the accident.
