A woman caught the attention of internet users after sharing that she got trapped inside a car wash.
Carlee Crabtree posted a video on TikTok to recount the incident. She explained that she had gone to the car wash with her mother to wash the car, but when they arrived, she noticed a trash bag in the way.
Crabtree got out of the car and went inside the car wash to remove the trash while her mother, still in the car, filmed the scene. Suddenly, the car wash doors closed while Crabtree was still inside.
It turns out that as soon as the doors close in a car wash system, the washing process is usually activated automatically. So, in addition to getting a real bath, Crabtree was also at risk of being injured by the cleaning equipment.
Crabtree’s video has already accumulated over 9 million views, while the “storytime” clip has nearly half a million views so far. In the comments, internet users were horrified by what happened.
“I thought it was going to be bad and somehow it was even worse,” joked one TikTok user. “By the way, this is how Final Destination usually starts,” warned another.
“As someone who has worked [at a car wash] and knows the stories of people dying in a car wash, [this] is terrifying,” wrote a third user.
In Crabtree’s “storytime” video, she said that everything ended well. She mentioned that she managed to grab the door just before it closed completely and lift it to get out.
Still, the situation was very frightening for her. “All I could think was that if the water turned on and came at me, I would be cut in half. Like, literally Final Destination,” added Crabtree.
