SAN JUAN COUNTY, N.M. – Intense dashcam video from a private automobile showed the moment a pickup truck slammed into gas pumps in rural northwest New Mexico, igniting a fireball of destruction at a local gas station/convenient store.
“Oh my f—ing, God!” TikTok user @extrezionx can be heard exclaiming in the video as he witnessed the alarming crash at the Speedway station off NM-170 in La Plata, Fox News Digital reported.
The crash occurred Feb. 4. The TikTok user said he was approaching the Speedway gas station to refuel during a road trip from Seattle to Mississippi when the eye-popping collision took place, causing the overhead canopy to collapse, according to the Storyful account.
“What the f—?” he blurted out twice before pulling into a small post office next to the gas station following the dramatic impact.

“I gave a statement to the local sheriff, and they needed footage for documentation,” @extrezionx told Storyful. “They also followed up with me stating the woman that I helped pull out of the truck had actually had a seizure.”
According to @extrezionx, the driver somehow managed to survive the crash with minor injuries.
The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office issued a press release saying deputies responded to the scene at about 5:55 p.m. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash, corroborating the information reported by the witness.
The driver apparently had no recollection of the collision, Fox News Digital reported.
