Gas station owner killed by vehicle in Cedarbrae car wash

The owner of a Centex gas station in southwest Calgary died on Wednesday afternoon after he was pinned in a drainage pit in the gas station's car wash.

Centex Petroleum owner Shafiq Bhura said the owner of the Cedarbrae location died, but that his name won't be released as his family has requested privacy.

Police said at 12:40 p.m. they responded to the call at 11211 Oakfield Dr. S.W.

The 64-year-old man was cleaning out a drainage pit in the car wash when the driver of a vehicle drove in, pinned the man against the edge of the pit, killing him.

"We are deeply saddened and heartbroken and are doing our best to support his family through this difficult time," Bhura said in an emailed statement. 

Police said the incident is still under investigation, but they don't expect charges to be laid. 

Occupational Health and Safety have also been notified of the death and are investigating.
