Gas station crash
Fargo Police arrested 20-year-old Dwayne Tensely just after 2:00 this morning, after he crashed a stolen car into some gas pumps in south Fargo.
Tensely could be charged with stealing a car, reckless endangerment, eluding police and D-U-I. Quick action by an employee that wasn't even on duty helped keep the neighborhood safe.
Stop N Go is closed from midnight to 5 am, so when the car crashed, no one was here, but fortunately, the sound woke an assistant manager who lives across the street.
She called her manager and then hurried over to hit the emergency gas shutoff. The car was fully engulfed in flames. Gas that spilled onto the ground also caught fire.
No one was injured in this incident, including the man who crashed. Electricians tell me there are safety features that cut off gas lines when something like this happens.
