North Carolina farmer forgets barbed wire in pickup truck and causes chaos at car wash, resulting in significant damage to a Ford Fusion; see the impact
An unusual and unexpected incident occurred at a car wash in North Carolina when a farmer inadvertently caused significant damage to a Ford Fusion. Kyle Corbett, the owner of the Ford F truck, left a load of barbed wire in the truck bed, unaware that this would turn into a disaster during the washing of the car.
The incident: barbed wire turns car wash into battlefield
Corbett passed through the first part of the car wash without any issues, but upon reaching the truck bed, the barbed wire was caught by the rotating brushes of the washing machine.
In the blink of an eye, the wire became entangled in the brushes, which began to pull it and, out of control, turned the car wash into a true demolition ball.

The worst was yet to come: behind the pickup truck, a Ford Fusion was beginning to exit the wash and ended up being hit by the barbed wire and the uncontrolled brushes.
The impact on the Ford Fusion and possible damages
The severity of the damage to the victim’s vehicle was not fully documented in the viral video that circulated on TikTok, but the situation made it clear that the Ford Fusion suffered severe impacts.
The video showed the car behind the pickup truck, visibly entangled in the chaos caused by the barbed wire and the car wash brushes. It is possible that the vehicle’s paint was damaged and the front needed repairs due to the impact.
What happened next: who will be responsible for the damages?
After the incident, Corbett revealed that the car wash staff had checked the safety of the pickup truck before he entered the washing machine. Even with this inspection, the farmer did not remember the wire he was transporting.
Corbett described the scene as a true “war zone,” with the brushes quickly snagging the wire and causing damage to the vehicle behind him. Now, the responsibility for the damages will be discussed, with Corbett’s insurance, the car wash team, or the farmer himself having to bear the costs of the destruction caused.
This incident serves as a warning about how seemingly harmless items, like barbed wire, can cause major problems in unexpected situations, such as a simple car wash.
