Looks like the driver was pumping gas and had to reach across the bed to put the handle in the filler, then forgot to remove it, drove off, and the back of the handle dug into the sheet metal and ripped it.

The hose is designed to break off from the pump with low pressure and a check valve stops the flow.
Happens all the time. The station might even be partially responsible for that.

To get to the other side.

Grave of James E. Rooster and his cousin Chicken Nuggets. They were both killed in Ybor City probably thinking they were invincible.
