Dramatic dashcam video shows the moment an out-of-control truck slammed into gas pumps in rural northwest New Mexico, igniting a fireball of destruction in its path.

“Oh my f—ing, God!” TikTok user @extrezionx can be heard saying in the video the moment he realized what had happened at the Speedway station off NM-170 in La Plata.

The video was shot Feb. 4. The TikTok user told Storyful he was approaching the Speedway gas station to fill up during a road trip from Seattle to Mississippi when the collision that caused the station’s canopy to come crashing down happened. 

“What the f—?” he asked twice before pulling into a small post office next to the gas station following the impact.

“I gave a statement to the local sheriff, and they needed footage for documentation,” @extrezionx told Storyful. “They also followed up with me stating the woman that I helped pull out of the truck had actually had a seizure.”

@extrezionx said the driver escaped with minor injuries.

A San Juan County Sheriff’s Office spokesman said he needed to gather more information about the incident before responding to a Fox News Digital inquiry. 

A woman did answer the phone at the Speedway station involved Tuesday morning, but she referred a request for comment to her district manager, who did not immediately return Fox News Digital’s phone call. 

The impact was so hard, it left a fireball of destruction and caused the station’s canopy to come crashing down. (@extrezionx via Storyful)
