Fleeing Driver Crashes Into Gas Station Pumps in Santa Clarita‎

Surveillance video released Friday from a fuel station shows customers running for safety as a car crashes into a fuel pump and causes the collapse of the metal awning above the pumps.

The vehicle is not included in the video (embedded, above), but the camera was able to capture the immediate aftermath, including a large fireball. Three men can be seen fleeing from the blaze. About 10 seconds after impact, a female passenger exits a vehicle stopped at an adjacent pump. She pauses for a moment, looks at the damage and then takes shelter with another woman inside the Chevron station.

The driver of the Nissan, Travis Kolbo, was fleeing from deputies before the crash, said sheriff's Sgt. Richard Cohen. One witness told investigators that the vehicle was traveling at a speed of about 100 mph.

Kolbo, a 30-year-old Newhall resident, and his passenger, Kimberly Cameron, 30, were trapped in the wreckage. The car was wedged between a post and a collapsed roof at one of the gas pumps, fire officials said. Firefighters also put out a small fire at the scene.

Emergency crews used the "jaws of life" extraction device to remove the driver and passenger from the burned wreckage of the Nissan.
