A family car was stuck in a Morrisons car wash for nine days after a mother and her daughter were forced to escape through a back window.
Kenny Macfarlane’s Honda CR-V was battered by the brushes of a car wash in Glasgow, Scotland.
The machinery, which was out of control, blocked the vehicle’s front doors and trapped Mr Macfarlane’s wife and daughter inside.
Both of them started ‘screaming’ and ‘freaking out’ as the pillars smashed into the drivers’ door and battered its metal frame.
His daughter eventually climbed over the front seat and escaped through one the Honda’s back windows before running out into the street and calling for help from a nearby shop.
She later came back to get her mother and drag her over the front two seats.

The Photographer told the Daily Record: ‘It all happened in just a few seconds – a huge bang and then whack, they didn’t know what was happening.

The Honda was stuck at the Glasgow car wash for nine days. When his daughter escaped she eventually helped her mother escape from the car through one of the rear windows
‘She was in shock, she could barely walk. My wife had quite violent trembling and had to get diazepam from the doctor to calm her down.’
His wife and daughter were traumatised, according to Mr Macfarlane, and claimed the supermarket store forced him to move his abandoned car and offered him little help.
He added that he has lost work because he has not got a car and that engineers cannot take a look at it while it is still in the car wash.
A spokeswoman for Morrisons said: ‘We are currently investigating the matter. Our colleagues and legal team have been polite, courteous and professional.
