HIALEAH, Fla. \u2014 Newly obtained video shows the moment a car slams into a gas pump and bursts into flames.<\/p>\n
With the video slowed down, you can also see the car hit a column, causing the canopy hanging over the pumps to collapse.<\/p>\n
The new angles shed light on the fiery, crash that created chaos in a Hialeah neighborhood. <\/p>\n
It happened late Friday night at the U-Gas located on 49th Street. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom was screaming,\u201d said witness Melanie Dib. \u201cEverybody in my family was like oh, there something going on. When I come outside, (I saw) fire (and) the car is turned (over).\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Hialeah police, the 32-year-old driver told officers an unknown vehicle cut him off, forcing him to swerve right. <\/p>\n
Video shows his vehicle barreling into the parking lot at full-force, and then another car drives through the frame. <\/p>\n
Shortly after the crash, neighbors say the driver made it out of fiery car. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe neighbors from that house were trying to get the guy out of the car, they got him out,\u201d said Dib. <\/p>\n
Tuesday afternoon, a team of workers were on site to repair the damaged canopy and gas pump.<\/p>\n
The station remains closed and fenced off as work to get the business back open continues. <\/p>\n
Police said the driver was released from the hospital the night of the crash and that no arrests will be made. <\/p>\n
