SUV crashes into gas pumps in New Jersey

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) - It could have been much worse when an SUV crashed into gas pumps at a gas station in New Jersey, police said.

Video released by North Brunswick police showed it was raining on Route 1 Tuesday as the SUV sideswiped a vehicle that was trying to turn into the gas station. 

The SUV veered into the gas station's lot and hit two gas pumps, which burst into flames. The SUV then flipped on its side.

No other information was available.

Tropical Storm Isaias rumbled across the tristate on Tuesday, dropping heavy rain and blowing powerful wind on New Jersey.
