According to preliminary reports, emergency responders rushed to the Shell Station that's located in the 900 block of Mountain Avenue at around 3:30 p.m. where firefighters observed a vehicle fire at that location.
Four people were already out of the vehicle with two of the occupants suffering non-life threatening injuries according to reports.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire while EMS transported the victims to an area hospital for treatment.
The driver reportedly narrowly missed a child who was riding a bike before striking the gas pump.
Police are actively investigating.
