Revealing dash cam footage shows a pickup truck speeding off a highway and crashing into a row of gas station pumps in New Mexico on Sunday.
The shocking video was captured by a fellow driver in the middle of a road trip from Seattle to Mississippi when he was seconds away from parking at the same Speedway gas station in La Plata around 6 p.m.
The truck cleared most of the gas pumps during Sunday’s accident.
The gray van was caught on tape crashing into at least two gas pumps, leaving a massive fireball behind and causing the overhang to quickly collapse to the ground.
The driver, who was suffering a medical episode, was traveling northbound on New Mexico Highway 170 before veering off the road, authorities said.
“Oh my God!” exclaimed Tyler Turner, the driver who captured the moment on his dash cam while he was in the middle of a conversation with someone else.
The moment was captured on video by a fellow driver.
“What the fuck? “What the fuck?”
After passing the gas pumps, the truck eventually came to a stop after crashing into a metal fence, according to additional footage captured by Turner.
The driver behind the runaway truck claims she has no memory of the crash, the San Juan Sheriff’s Office said. Authorities do not believe alcohol was involved.
Turner allegedly said a sheriff’s deputy told him the woman suffered a seizure before the crash.
The intense crash left the station totaled.
The driver of the pickup truck miraculously did not suffer any physical injuries and no one else was hurt during the harrowing scene, the sheriff’s office said.
“The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office reminds people with medical conditions to adhere to prescribed treatments and use caution when operating motor vehicles,” the law enforcement agency stated.
