Former downtown Hagerstown car wash being demolishedA former car wash along West Baltimore Street in Hagerstown, Md., was being demolished Thursday to make way for a multi-use sports facility.Almost 50 years ago, when Karen Lowman came across a motorcyclist who had been hit by a car, she realized she didn't know what to do.That traumatic event led Lowman to enroll in an emergency medical technician class and go on to volunteer for various emergency service companies in Washington County.Those volunteer experiences led to her volunteer work with the Maryland State Firemen's Association.
