Police Investigate Gas Station Explosion That Killed Driver

An investigation is underway into what caused a gas station crash and explosion around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday.  

Police say a driver in a Ford Mustang hit the pump at a BP Station at 701 South Federal Highway in Dania Beach.  

The crash caused the explosion that killed the driver. The identity of that driver has not yet been released.

The fire, which began with a loud boom and hurled part of the gas pump into Federal Highway, was quickly extinguished.

Relatives say the victim recently got his car out of a repair shop and investigators will check to see if a mechanical problem is to blame.
