One Stoppe workers react to suspected DUI gas station crash in Indio

We're learning more about a pursuit that ended as a fiery crash at a gas station in Indio.

Investigators say a 24-year-old Desert Hot Springs man was spotted running a red light in Cathedral City.

Officers tried to pull him over but say he didn't stop and led a pursuit. It finally ended near the intersection of Indio Boulevard and Van Buren Street.

Surveillance video captured the incident early Saturday morning after the suspected drunk driver crashed into the Sinclair gas station.

People were shocked the man and a dog survived after ramming into two gas station pumps.

Alen Silva, a manager at the One Stop Taco Shop in Indio that's connected to the gas station says, "I think they're both lucky. I mean I'm pretty sure they're banged up."

His team was alerted of the incident shortly after 3 a.m. They rushed to the scene and experienced the aftermath of the crash.

"It happened off hours. So no one was here to get injured because it would have been a lot worse," says Silva.

By Sunday morning there were hardly any remains in the front parking lot.

"We were able to clean up, make it safe. And we were open for business at our regular hours at 8 a.m. on Sunday," adds Silva.

However, about $100,000 worth of damages were left behind the One Stoppe Shop.

"We're gonna be out two gas pumps," says Silva.

Firefighters put out the flames from the car and gas pumps, and that rescue quickly turned into an arrest.

"The gentleman got himself out but there was a dog in there so they had to cut out the the vehicle, the roof and they got the dog out," says Silva.

The 24-year-old driver was arrested and booked for driving while intoxicated, felony evading arrest, resisting arrest and animal cruelty.

The suspect was checked out at the hospital and cleared before he was booked in jail.
