Watch: Car Rams Into Petrol Dispenser, Autorickshaw In Rajkot

Rajkot : A shocking accident was caught on the camera today when a car rammed into a petrol dispenser, overturning a commercial vehicle in Gujarat's Rajkot. Three people have been injured in the accident.

The video footage shows a car speeding towards a petrol pump. The car first knocked down the petrol dispenser and then rammed into the vehicle.

As the petrol spilled, the driver of the commercial vehicle is seen rushing out to safety.

Apparently, the driver of the car lost control over the vehicle, causing the accident.
 A similar accident occurred earlier this year when a man rammed his car into a petrol pump in Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj district. The man was learning to drive when the accident happened.

The accident was also caught on a CCTV camera, showing that the novice driver lost control over the car and rammed into a bike.
