• A car wash attendant in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, narrowly avoided a fatal accident during a test drive of a client’s car on October 29, 2023.

• The car sustained scratches, and at the time of the incident, the car’s owner remained unaware of what had transpired.

A car wash attendant in the Rumueme area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, narrowly escaped a death when a test drive of a client’s vehicle went horribly wrong.

According to a Facebook post by user Justice Ori, the incident unfolded when a man brought his car to a local car wash.

The car washer, after completing the cleaning of the vehicle, decided to take it for a test drive to presumably gauge his driving skills.

Unfortunately, this seemingly innocuous decision quickly escalated into a life-threatening situation.

Eyewitnesses were stunned when they saw the car wash attendant and the client’s car end up inside a drainage ditch.

It was only thanks to the prompt assistance of people in the vicinity that the car wash attendant narrowly escaped death.

The vehicle involved in the mishap reportedly sustained scratches, but the owner of the car remained blissfully unaware of the incident at the time of Justice Ori’s post.

“Happened this afternoon in Rumueme area of Port Harcourt.

It took the help of people around to bring him out as he narrowly escaped death. The car has sustained scratches meanwhile the owner of the car is unaware of the incident as the time of this post,” the post read.
