Last week, we were telling you about the accident shown in this photo, when a sports utility vehicle took out two pumps at Beaver Gas on Trunk Road.

Today, WGN-TV in Chicago is airing dramatic security-camera footage that shows how lucky that Sault driver really was.

The Chicago video shows an almost-identical accident that happened there.

An out-of-control SUV ran over a gas pump, but the Chicago accident resulted in two fiery explosions.

The Chicago SUV fled the scene after hitting the pump.

An adjacent taxicab then caught fire and exploded. To view this amazing video footage, please click here.
