A passenger in the minivan was unharmed as was the driver of the pickup. A man who works across the street from the 7-Eleven store where the explosion occurred, said he tried to get to the woman but the heat was too intense.
Other eyewitness who also works across the street, said he ran to the store with a fire extinguisher but an off-duty firefighter yelled at him to back off. Just then the pump exploded.
