A car crashed into a gas station parking lot early Monday, toppling a gas-station pump.

An 18-year-old woman was driving along Lincoln Highway in East Pittsburgh when, just before 2 a.m., she lost control of the car, spun counter-clockwise and struck a gas-station pump, knocking it over, state police said.

The driver and three passengers were taken to area hospitals for medical evaluation of their injuries, police said. None of the injuries were considered to be life-threatening, police said.

Police said the driver, identified as Rylee Siska of Pittsburgh, was charged with driving at an unsafe speed in connection with the crash.
