Dreadful. RIP.
Horrific.
Those poor kids, seeing it all.
I’ll be needing to jack up my own levels of situational awareness, after reading this.
Gas pumps are supposed to have shear valves that, when broken, stop the flow of gas. It sounds like that didn’t happen when the pump was knocked over.
Savage murder? Someone backed into the pump she was using so the pump pinned her against her car, and the gasoline sprayed everywhere... and then lit on fire somehow?
Since coronavirus, traffic disasters are way, way, way up. Every single day, my commute home has been stopped by an accident. It’s a very high-volume freeway, so it’s not unusual to have a stoppage, but it is only about 10 miles, and this is EVERY ... SINGLE ... DAY.
What a tragedy ... That poor woman ...
If they’re not going to charge her, I’d pull the 66 year old driver of the other vehicle in for a driver’s test.
Thumbs up, Mr. Pierson.
Just one more reason to NEVER go to Walmart, for gas or anything else...
They are not “pumps”, they are dispensers. Every gasoline station in America has an emergency shut off valve near the gasoline dispensing part of the station.
Gasoline is not flammable.
It’s explosive.
(Kerosine is flammable. So is lighter fluid.)
