SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon gas station worker escaped serious injury when a car came crashing through a wall and into the cashier stand inside the station in Springfield.

KEZI-TV reports the unidentified worker was sweeping the floor when an entire wall suddenly came down on top of him early last Saturday.

The manager of the AM PM Mini Market, Casey Wilson, told the television station that just another foot, and the worker could have been hurt. The worker was treated at a hospital and released.

In a video of the crash, the worker climbs out of all the debris and hurdles over the counter to get to safety.

Wilson said the driver was circling the parking lot and having an argument with his female companion when the crash occurred.
