A woman in St. Petersburg, Florida, is accused of igniting gasoline at a gas station while another person was pumping fuel, resulting in serious burns, according to police. The New York Post and Fox News report that the incident occurred at a Mobil station as the stranger stood at the pump.
Both outlets say Eleanor Crawford, 41, is arrested and faces allegations related to deliberately lighting gasoline. The accounts describe her using a lighter to ignite fuel while the victim was at the pump. Fox News adds that video footage shows the alleged act, while the New York Post focuses on police statements about the deliberate ignition and the circumstances at the pump.
Authorities’ statements, as summarized by both outlets, emphasize the sequence of events at the station and Crawford’s arrest. The coverage does not provide additional details across sources on the victim’s identity, motive, or the full extent of injuries beyond reporting that the burns are severe, and does not describe any additional suspects beyond Crawford.
