A previous weekend disaster in Inglewood has been averted with quick thinking by service station staff shutting off fuel pump lines.
The town was without fuel supplies after a car entered the Inglewood Roadhouse apron, drove through a diesel pump, wiped out a verandah support  and stopped on a plate glass window.
Witnesses said they saw the crash about 7.30am, while paying for a fuel purchase.
“I looked out the window and saw this car turning in from the (Calder) highway,” one said.
Staff member Michelle Stanic was serving the customer when she heard the car entering and quickly shut off fuel pump lines.
“I was watching from the window and shut down the pumps immediately,” she said. “It could have lit the whole place up.”
Police said the driver, a 23-year-old Nepalese national, travelling from Mildura was uninjured in the crash.
Sen. Constable Andrew Gibbs said inquiries were continuing.
Inglewood CFA assisted with clearing fuel spills and the service re-opened late Sunday afternoon.
