The 54-year-old employee was in surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center following the 1:30 p.m. incident at the Englewood Car Wash on East Sheffield Avenue near the Sheffield Gardens apartment complex, Police Lt. Fred Pulice said. 

A 24-year-old male co-worker sustained an elbow injury that required surgery at HUMC, the lieutenant said.

A third worker, 59, also male, was treated at the hospital for a broken arm and multiple contusions, cuts and abrasions on his face, he said.

Another employee was pulling a customer’s vehicle from the bay to the drying area when the crash occurred, Pulice said.

The driver was uninjured.

The Bergen County Prosecutor's Fatal Accident Investigations Unit responded to assist given the severity of injuries.

"The matter is under investigation and no charges have been filed as of this time," Pulice said early Wednesday evening.​
