A car went tumbling into a Hialeah gas station, bursting into flames late Friday night sending the driver to a hospital, authorities say.
Around 10:20 p.m., the unnamed driver was behind the wheel heading east in the 900 block of East 49th Street when they lost control of the car, the Hialeah Police Department said.
The car went barreling into a gas-station pump, striking a column and overturned. An OnlyInDade video shows the white SUV burst into flames almost immediately on impact with the pump.
The driver was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center in stable condition, police said. Hialeah Fire Rescue put out the blaze.
Police said no arrests were made.
