WHITE OAK, Pa. — Quick-reacting police and bystanders rescued a worker who became pinned between two vehicles Monday at a White Oak car wash.

The incident happened at Double Car Wash on O'Neil Boulevard when one vehicle moved between two other, pinning the employee.

"The way he was pinned, was there two cars here and the Jeep was between them," said witness Robert Gindele. "So it was like it was like a screw and It just pinned him right in the middle."

A second worker was also injured.

"Thank God that everything happened ... maybe the way it was, that these people were here at the time, they were to be able to save this man’s life," Gindele said.
