Man Saves Woman From Being Strangled In Car Wash
EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (CBS) ―

A car wash employee says she owes her life to a Southampton man who rushed to help her when her scarf became caught in a spinning scrubber brush and starting choking her.

Stephanie Carpluk says she was terrified as she desperately tried to free herself from the rotating brush while John O'Leary's car started moving through the Golden Nozzle car wash in Easthampton Sunday morning.

"The spinner spun my scarf around so it pulled me closer," Carpluk explained. "I didn't know what to think. I didn't know what to do. I was just so scared."

Carpluk continued to struggle to remove the scarf before she lost consciousness. That's when O'Leary jumped out of his car and cut her free with a pocket knife.

The next thing Carpluk remembers is waking up in the arms of a stranger who was encouraging her to breathe.

What struck me about this was the name of the car wash - the Golden Nozzle. Isn't that title reserved for whoever is the current head of the Kennedy clan?
