A videograb shows the car approaching the fuel dispenser in Jeddah.

A fire broke out at a petrol station in the Saudi city of Jeddah after a car collided with the oil dispenser.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the driver lost control of the vehicle.

After the fire broke out, all the station workers fled the scene.

Passers-by managed to extinguish the fire.

The Civil Defense in Makkah region stated that it followed up with the incident and made sure that the fire was completely extinguished.

A video clip circulating on social media showed a number of people rushing to extinguish the fire that started as a result of the collision.

A demand has been growing ever since calling for the need to train all workers on how to act when a fire breaks out and how to put it out.
