It was a gas-and-dash of a different kind Sunday night when a car rolled away from the gas pumps at an east end service station.
The only problem was that there was no driver at the wheel. An official on scene told the Telegram that the young male driver was in the process of fuelling the car but had left the vehicle in neutral. The car rolled across the service station parking lot, over a lawn, across Highland Drive and plunged over an embankment next to an office building, coming to rest straddling a rock retaining wall.
There was no one in the car at the time, no injuries and the only damage appeared to be to the car and the retaining wall. The towing company called to remove the vehicle had to use a boom truck to remove the car from the bottom of the embankment.
