A series of photos show the moment a 77-year-old man in Hatfield Township, Pennsylvania, flipped his vehicle while in a car wash, trapping himself inside.

The unidentified senior was inside his vehicle and paying at the Wave Car Wash when he accidentally stepped on the gas, last week.

In a statement on the business's Facebook page, they explain that this caused the vehicle to crash through the pay station gate and into the car wash tunnel.

The man then hit stationary equipment, causing his vehicle to flip onto its left side.

Emergency services were called to the scene, where they discovered the man had his car door open when he leaned on the accelerator. His leg was trapped between the door and the body of the vehicle, Hatfield Township Fire Marshall told Insider in a press release.

It took the emergency crews roughly an hour and a half to remove the man from the totaled car, having to remove the roof of the vehicle and also use airbags, wood cribbing blocks, and jacks to evacuate him.

Hatfield Township's fire marshal told Insider that the responders described it as a "once in a career" incident.

The driver was taken to a nearby hospital to attend to injuries on his legs but was in a stable condition. The owner of Wave Car Wash, Darin Kapanjie, told ABC Action News that no one was seriously injured.

In a statement, Kapanjie said, "Being a small business owner isn't easy, accidents like this don't make it any easier. We'll get through it together and end up on top. Again, we're just so happy nobody was seriously injured."
