TAUNTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Two people were hospitalized after a pickup truck barreled into a Taunton car wash, crushing another vehicle with a woman inside on Sunday.
Surveillance video of the incident at Prestige Car Wash off Route 44 shows the GMC Sierra pickup speeding in reverse before it slammed into a self-service bay and landed on top of a red Ford Focus at about 2 p.m.
Taunton Fire Deputy Chief Scott Dexter says a woman was in the car and a man was outside of the car at the time of the crash.
She was transported to the hospital and treated for a concussion, scrapes, and bruises.
Firefighters used hydraulic tools to remove the driver of the pickup truck, who was also hospitalized as a precaution.
A preliminary investigation suggests that after a man putting floor mats into the Sierra after vacuuming it, the mat became stuck above the truck’s accelerator pedal.
The incident remains under investigation.
