In a dramatic incident in the North Zone of São Paulo, an out-of-control car crashed into a gas station early Monday morning. The collision, which occurred around 2:50 AM in the Lauzane Paulista neighborhood, was captured on surveillance footage showing the vehicle speeding into the station and subsequently hitting a fuel pump, which toppled over upon impact. Fortunately, the airbag deployed in the vehicle, and the four occupants safely exited the vehicle before fleeing the scene.

Witnesses reported that there were fears of an explosion due to the gas pump being struck. However, no such explosion occurred, and gas station employees were also seen moving away from the hazard area. Emergency responders arrived later, and the damaged vehicle was removed from the premises several hours after the incident. The TV Globo news team is actively seeking further details from the São Paulo Secretary of Public Security regarding the event. As of the latest updates, further information about the incident remained sparse and unconfirmed.

This incident highlights ongoing safety concerns related to gas stations, particularly the risks posed by erratic driving. The quick reactions of witnesses and employees may have mitigated what could have been a disastrous outcome. Authorities may need to review safety protocols at gas stations to prevent similar incidents in the future, especially in areas known for higher traffic and speed.
