The two pumps burst into flames after the crash early Sunday. A Fire Battalion Chief stated that crews quickly extinguished the blaze.

Snapp says two passengers were ejected from the car that crashed, while crews had to free the driver from the wreckage.

The driver and one passenger were taken to a Dayton, Ohio, hospital, but information on their conditions wasn’t released. A woman who was pumping gasoline at the time suffered some second-degree burns.
