Quick thinking averts explosion, disaster

A motorist accidentally yanked a gas pump off its base at a gas station in Jerusalem Township Thursday afternoon near Maumee Bay State Park. Quick thinking though, by gas station attendants saved the busy gas station on State Route 2 in eastern Lucas County from exploding. Surveillance video from the Sunoco showed a motorist who appeared to be in a hurry forget to take the gas nozzle out of his car and put it back into the pump. The motorist hits the gas pedal and yanked the whole pump right off its base sparking a fire.
