A FAMILY car got stuck inside a Morrisons car wash when the machine went out of control – leaving a mum and daughter trapped inside.
Kenny Macfarlane’s Honda CR-V got battered and trapped inside the store’s car wash in Newlands, Glasgow, leaving it stuck there for nine days.
His wife and daughter when inside the motor when they decided to get it cleaned, but the machine quickly went haywire and lost control.
Kenny, a photographer, told the Daily Record that it just took a few seconds for the car to get bashed about.
While inside the car, thee two women heard a loud bang after the brushes reached the side off the car when suddenly they were thrown across the car wash.
The car was thrown and crashed at the driver’s side before a huge pillar on the right smashed through the driver’s door and clamped it in place.
Kenny then explained that a pillar on the left then sheared and flew across to the wrecked car and bashed it in the side.

To get help, his daughter was forced to climb over the seats and into the rear of the car where she was able to escape from one of the doors.
She then raced to the shop to get help before coming back and helping her mum climb over the seats to get out.
Kenny said the pair were left traumatised and in a state of shock after the incident and his wife had to be prescribed diazepam to help calm her afterwards.

But he has hit out at Morrisons after claiming the store told him that there isn’t much they could do about the situation, adding that he would need to get the car moved himself.
He told the Daily Record: “They were sitting in the car freaking out, screaming, wondering what was happening and thinking, ‘someone must know we’re here’, but nobody did.
“She [his daughter] 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.
“An engineer went to the store, the ones who do the service and maintenance, and said he couldn’t do an inspection while the car was there.
“I’ve been told the store can’t do anything for me to get it moved. They said it’s down to me.”
Without his car, Kenny has lost out on work.
Morrisons have been approached for comment by the Scottish Sun.
