Another Alberta gas station attendant killed in gas and dash near Thorsby
THORSBY, Alta. — A gas station attendant was killed Friday afternoon after what police call a “gas and dash” at a fuel station in Thorsby, Alta.
RCMP Sgt. Corey Kyle said it appears a driver of a stolen truck was speeding away from the Fas Gas station without paying for fuel when the fatality occurred.
A witness from a nearby tire shop told CTV News he heard yelling and when he went outside, he saw a large white cube van driving away with the gas station employee hanging onto the passenger side mirror.
The witness said the van headed north for a distance before swerving, tossing the man from its side before running over him.
