"It almost seemed like a big bomb. We were thinking somebody threw fireworks at the gas station. We're looking this way, we see all the cars flying and people running there. So I go straight there and I call 911," said Mohamad "Big Moe" Mallah.
"It was traumatic. I mean, it was loud, very loud. So, immediately we all were trying to go and help, and people were screaming. It was a very chaotic scene. People have to slow down these days. I know it's hot in the summer, people are drinking, speeding, crossing red lights. If you don't care about yourself, worry about other people," said witness Chris Ross.
