A WOMAN drove off with an entire petrol pump dragging behind her vehicle when she sped away from a petrol station in the South of Johannesburg on Thursday, August 10, in the early morning.
The woman, who alleges she was fleeing from what she thought was an attempted hijacking, drove off from Vuyo’s garage on Main Street with an entire petrol pump mechanism.
Vuyo’s garage owner Ashraf Hoosen said the incident surprised many on the Thursday morning.
He explained that the woman drove into the petrol station around 4am and parked near one of the pumps.
“A petrol attendant came to her aid and began pumping petrol into her car. A few seconds after the woman stopped near the pump, a man came running to her car.”
Hoosen said the unknown man tapped on the woman’s passenger window.
