Woman’s lighter sparks blaze at gas station
19-year-old suffers burns on face, torso after ‘freak accident’ in N.M.
Updated: 8:04 a.m. ET July 21, 2007
LA PLATA, N.M. - {AP} A 19-year-old woman caught fire after she was
fiddling with a cigarette lighter as she pumped gas, authorities said.
Brianna Sanchez was at a Sun Dial gas station with her boyfriend Friday
night when the incident occurred, said Sgt. Jackie Budd, a spokesman
with the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office.
Budd called the incident a “freak accident” and said there was no reason
to believe otherwise.
He said witnesses reported the woman was casually pumping gas and that
she had a lighter in her hand. That’s when flames shot out of the gas
tank.
The woman and the immediate area caught fire. A person at the scene put
out the blaze with a fire extinguisher.
Sanchez was taken to San Juan Regional Medical Center with burns to her
face and upper torso. Budd didn’t know the extent of her injuries.

a convenient means of feeling superior to others.

That deserves an honourable mention in the Darwin awards.
