A man died after getting caught inside a car wash in Irving around 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4.
The 39-year-old victim worked at the Wash Masters Car Wash off I-635 and MacArthur Boulevard.
First responders arrived and quickly began life-saving measures.
The victim, later identified as Luis Enrique Acosta Madrano of Garland, was then rushed to Parkland Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
“It seems to just be an unfortunate accident to where the male was working around the machine and it appeared that somehow he ended up getting trapped in the equipment there while trying to get a car through the wash,” said Irving Police Officer Robert Reeves.
Authorities are still investigating exactly how this happened.
Oops!
Doesn’t sound like a freak accident when a person enters the apparatus.
Covid related?
Horrible.
What did he know about the Clinton connection in election rigging and who did he tell?

Click-bait headline writers’ guide:
Tragic > Freak
Having been entangled in live machinery before, I can tell you that it is no fun. Fortunately never suffered a major injury from a lifetime of working on (usually live) machinery.
It must be scary.
We had a car wash in my town that I used to go to where the young employees had to walk along the sides of the tunnel with the brushes moving and spinning around them. I always wondered why the boss would put them in such danger.
Farm machinery used to be really bad.
Yes, that Parkland Hospital.
I was a pressman for a number of years. Lots of peers missing fingers. I was careful/lucky.
Two farmers on my road have died in the last two seasons from tractor rollovers.

you may be on to something bob.
Déjà Vu
There used to be a lot of exposed belts, augers, and power takeoffs.
Dreadful. RIP.
I had a great uncle die from a tractor rollover
I get it that the whole setup of a tractor is inherently not the most stable vehicle, but can’t they design some kind of “death proof” cockpit to sit in so you can’t get caught up in it when it flips over? If NASCAR drivers can walk away from 99% of crashes why can’t farmers?
