Car wash sued over Cy-Fair motorcycle crash

Katy residents are suing a car wash after having their motorcycle detailed.

Jong Yi and Rebecca Yi, of 23107 Hazel Field Court in Katy, filed a lawsuit on Dec. 2 in the Harris County District Court against Texas Car Wash Co., alleging negligence.

The Yis say that on Jan. 13, 2010, they had their motorcycle detailed at Texas Car Wash Co., located 6016 N. Eldridge Parkway. According to the brief, the car wash used excessive amounts of tire cleaner while cleaning the motorcycle, which made the tires on the motorcycle so slick that they wrecked.

The Yis are seeking compensatory and exemplary damages, as well as court costs.

They are being represented in the case by Woodlands attorney Nathan Beedle.
