Repairs were underway Friday to a small building at a gas station outside Sam’s Club in Hempfield after a pickup truck slammed into it earlier this week.
Hempfield Fire Department Deputy Chief John Storey said firefighters rescued a person who was inside the attendant building at the time of the crash on Monday around 3:30 p.m. That person was not hurt.
“We had to extricate them out of the building due to the collapse,” he said.
A person driving the pickup had a medical issue and was injured. The driver was taken by ambulance to a hospital, he said.
There was significant damage to the building, Storey said. The gas pumps remained closed on Friday.
A spokeswoman from Sam’s Club could not provide a timeline for reopening of the station.
