A 30-year-old woman who was driving a rental car because she had crashed her own vehicle a week earlier smashed into a gas pump at the Mobile Station on Cranberry Highway on Monday, sending a pump 50 feet in the air.
    Wareham and Onset Fire personnel responded quickly to the accident and quickly extinguished the subsequent fire.
    According to law enforcement officials, the woman claims to have “blacked out.” She crashed her own vehicle a week ago in Robertson’s Auto Salvage just two miles away on Cranberry Highway.
    “It’s amazing it wasn’t worse than it was and nobody got hurt,” said Capt. Matthew Rowley of the Wareham Fire Department.
    No charges have been filed related to the accident. The woman, whose name has not yet been released, was reportedly taken to Tobey Hospital where she was treated for minor injuries and released.
    “She hit two parked cars, and then came across and then actually took out the gas pump, which in turn caught fire. She was able to get out of the vehicle on her own and basically wait for us,” Rowley said.
    Rowley noted that the accident could have been far more serious if emergency precautions did not exist at the Mobile station.
    “You hope everything works appropriately, such as the shut-offs for the gas pumps. They worked great so we didn’t have a lot gasoline involved,” Rowley said.
    Local police have reported asked the Registry of Motor Vehicles to revoke the driver's license following the two accidents.
