I asked if he was all right; he said, yeah, he's all right."Camela Cimitata, who lives across the street, said, "I thought someone hit my house, so that's why I looked out."The accident happened in the rear of the building, over an area where a Giant Eagle spokesman said produce is prepared off the main floor and away from customers."They discovered that gasoline was leaking from the car," Deputy Fire Chief Michael Mullen said.
