CALGARY- The owner of a gas station is dead after emergency officials say it appears he was accidentally run over by a vehicle in the station’s car wash.

Occupational Health and Safety is investigating the incident.

The 64-year-old man was pronounced dead at a Centex outlet in the city’s southwest around 1 p.m. Wednesday.

The victim has not been identified and Centex Petroleum says his family has requested privacy.
