SEATTLE — Someone had the presence of mind to hit the emergency fuel shut-off switch. Otherwise there would have been more damage Thursday at a Seattle gas station where a car was pushed into a pump and caught fire.

KOMO reports the car that caused the accident fled the scene. Police are looking for a black Monte Carlo.

No one was hurt.

Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore says the fire destroyed one car and damaged another before firefighters arrived.
