TAMPA, Fla. — A video posted on YouTube shows the wreckage of a car that crashed into a gas pump, which erupted into flames Wednesday.

The driver of the SUV crashed the vehicle when she lost control, according to Tampa Bay Online.

A fire truck and an emergency SUV pull up to the fire about five minutes into the video and firefighters begin attacking the flames.

About seven and a half minutes later, at least another three fire apparatus arrive on scene as smoke continues to billow from the site.

Small explosions can also be seen and heard coming from the car before firefighters arrive.

Tampa Fire Rescue and Hillsborough County Fire Rescue responded to the incident.
