A car crashed into a petrol station in Dong Da District, Hanoi on Friday night, injuring at least eight people waiting to fill up their tanks.

The incident happened at around 10:15 pm at the station on Lang Street.

The car, numbered 30H-758XX, hit the pump hard enough to cause it to tilt, but thankfully no damage involving fuel was caused.
