Car’s Brakes Fail, Crashes into Gas Pumps & Catches Fire

The South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating a crash that happened around 6:20 am Saturday morning on US 76 in Anderson County. Reports from troopers stated that a 61 year-old woman was driving a 2008 VW Coupe EOS when the car’s brakes failed.

The brake failure sent her careening into a gas pump at a convenience store, which caused her car to catch fire, according to investigators.

The unnamed woman was able to get out of the car with no injuries, troopers said.
