SUV Slammed Into Gas Pump By Our House!

Last night I was sitting on our patio playing cards with my ex's nine year old daughter. Then all of a sudden I was hearing sirens and then more sirens. I got Drew and he heard them, then he looked on the computer to see if he could find out what is happening and he said that there is a fire at the Mobil gas station right on the corner of 3 Mile Rd and Main st..

So the three of us walked over to see what was happening, They had the street in front of our apartment complex blocked off and there was about four or five fire trucks, about seven police cars and one ambulance. The owners of the gas station are all alright. I was talking with the lady and she said the the driver of the SUV was a woman and she just came off of 3 Mile Rd and slammed into the gas pump. It is just so scary when it happens so close to home. What is so weird is that I was at the gas station about three hours before this happened.

Of course Drew did bring the camera with so he could get some pictures of what happened. Here are a couple pictures to share with you!

I saw this in the paper. Good thing the whole station didn't blow up.

Kk- Thank you. Just so everyone knows that the owner and everyone are alright. Just don't know about the lady driving the car.

I agree with you Daddy Orbs.

I saw on the computer this morning that TMJ4 News was out here last night. It had to of been after we came back to the house.

It's a Mobil Station, isn't it?

Thank you Legal I may just start using that on here for everyone.

I just talked to the owner today and he said that the fire was still going after he press the stop button in the store. I just feel so sorry for them because right now they are losing money because the other gas pumps can not be turned back on yet.

Daddy Orbs- On the building you can see the original name of the gas station still. I didn't notice that until the other day when I seen it.
