A person went to one of those car wash places in Michigan where you ride in the car as it is being washed and nobody told this person to put the car in neutral so the car remained in drive and launched forward into the car ahead of the person.

By the time the attendant ran along side of the car yelling at the driver to "put it in neutral you idiot!", the cars had already collided causing minor damage to both.

Would the car wash place be responsible for the repairs? If a police report is made, will the driver of the launched car get a ticket for not having the car under control on private property?
