Michael Pogwizd
Michael Pogwizd  said  he  was fueling up at a Hickory Hills gas station about 6 a.m. when a car pulling into the lot slid uncontrollably into the pump  knocking it onto Pogwizdâs Chevy Malibu.
A small fire broke out  which  Pogwizd  captured in a photograph before putting it out with an extinguisher. Two other crashes happened in the lot soon thereafter  said Hickory Hills police Lt. Tim Stevens.
âIt was like a crazy ice-dancing car show â  Pogwizd  said. âThe policeman even said heâd never seen anything like this in 15 years.â
 Pogwizd  said his car was still under the gas pump 3Â½ hours later because authorities were treating it as a hazmat scene. But he was looking on the bright side: His boss gave him the day off  he said  âPlus  (the gas station) is giving me free food and coffee  so itâs not that bad.â
