METHUEN, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are investigating after a car careened into a gas pump in Methuen Sunday morning.
Officers responding to the Mobile Station on Haverhill Street around 7:30 a.m. found a pump on its side and a red sedan with major front end damage, according to a tweet issued by police.
The driver said she is thankful that she and her friend were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
“I get in the car, I’m gonna put on my seatbelt, you’re gonna put on your seatbelt,” Carolina said. “If she didn’t have her seatbelt or if I didn’t have my seatbelt, we would have gone through the windshield or something because it was bad.”
Both Carolina and her passenger went to the hospital with minor injuries but are OK.
The intersection was temporarily closed while crews worked to clear the scene of hazards.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
