Gas Station
Attendant Struck By Customer’s Truck
Around 2pm Sunday an
employee of the Murphy’s Oil on Highway 331 was struck by a truck as it was
pulling from the service station. An unconfirmed report says the female employee
is pregnant. Lt. Greg Gandy with the DeFuniak Springs Police could not confirm
the expectant condition, but did confirm she was in a Pensacola hospital with
non-life threatening, but serious injuries.
While the
investigation is still underway, apparently the employee was removing moisture
from a tank valve in the driveway landing of the gas station. There were orange
cones placed for safety. Gandy says the employee was bent over or on her knees
near an orange cone on the northeast corner of the station. The truck pulled out
and stuck her at low speed.
