MAN LOSES LIMB

Amputated leg for struck carwash worker

A CARWASH worker in Queens lost his leg Saturday after getting pinned between two vehicles, cops said.

The victim, who is in his 20s, was wiping down a car after it went through the Boulevard Car Wash on Queens Blvd. in Briarwood about 10:40 a.m. when another worker struck him with a vehicle that’d just been cleaned.

“(The other employee) pressed the gas instead of the brakes,” witness R.J. Traveneau said. “He ran over the guy who was drying the car and tore his leg off.”

Traveneau, 52, and his co-workers rushed over when they saw the ambulance and fire trucks pull up.

“When they put the guy on the stretcher they had to move his leg next to him,” Traveneau recounted. “It was attached but it was almost completely severed.”

“He was just lying there on the stretcher with his eyes closed,” he said.

Medics rushed the victim to Jamaica Hospital, where he had to amputate his right leg, cops said.

The co-worker, Luis Guzman, 38, who didn’t have a license, was taken into custody (left) and charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle.
