It happened in a St. Lois area Missouri Gas Station.

A minivan pulls up to fill up. Without thinking, the driver drives off with the gas nozzle still attached. The nozzle breaks off, causing a stream of spraying gasoline.

As the driver of a blue Lamborghini that had stopped at the station as well is inside to pay for his gas, he notices a gigantic ball of fire in the spot where his luxury car just stood.

The spraying gas has caused the Lamborghini to erupt in flames. The car was completely destroyed. Thankfully, no one was hurt in this unintentional occurrence, determined to be an accident by authorities.

Lawsuit, anyone?
