OHIO (NBC) -

A semi truck nearly caused a catastrophe in Akron, Ohio on Thursday.

Surveillance video from inside a Marathon gas station shows the driver of the truck lose control and barely miss other drivers and the gas pumps.

The truck was coming off I-77 and flew right through an intersection before smashing into a pole and toppling over.

Employees and customers at the Marathon station ran to the driver's aid and pulled both a woman, thought to be the driver, and a man from the cab.

Minutes earlier a car had been filling up at the very pump the truck slammed into.

The driver of the truck told officers the brakes stopped working.
