AN CLEVELAND, OHIO AREA MAN IS LUCKY AND GRATEFUL to be alive today following an unusual accident at a gas station. A 57-yr.-old man had just gotten out of his pickup truck when a car slammed into the gas pump he was about to use, pinning him underneath of it while a fire started up.
Channel 8′s video report shows the surveillance camera tapes and says it all:
The station attendant was out there with an extinguisher within 15 seconds. When the bystander comes to help, you can see him stop when he sees the pump move around. Looking underneath, the Samaritans see the man for the first time and while three men lift the pump, the victim rolls out from under it. He is in the hospital being treated for several broken bones, but fortunately no burns.
