The explosion tore through the building occupied by several businesses after the vehicle hit a gas line, a Unified Fire Authority spokesperson said.

Shocking footage shows the moment the explosion tore the roof off the building, lighting up the night sky and sending debris into the air before plunging everything back into darkness.

Taking to X, locals who captured the incident were left stunned.

“Crazy night! I pray everybody got out but we witnessed this as the car slammed into the Domino’s pizza and the whole damn building blew up!” resident Dave Young wrote.

“I was maybe 100 feet away and it took my breath away as the mushroom cloud exploded! Unreal,” he added.

Alongside the post he shared videos taken seconds after impact showing the extent of the horrifying blaze.

Over 60 firefighters from Unified Fire, South Jordan, West Jordan, West Valley City, Sandy and Draper Fire Departments were dispatched to the scene, a spokesperson told The Salt Lake Tribune.

They continued working through the night into Sunday morning to quash the blaze.

Those who were injured in the incident were taken to nearby hospitals with their conditions currently unknown.

No members of law enforcement or the fire services were harmed, officials have said.

But a spokesperson from Unified Fire shared on X how two heroic witnesses rushed to help those trapped in the burning SUV.

“Two courageous bystanders risked their lives to rescue the driver and passenger from the burning vehicle just moments before it was engulfed in flames,” they wrote on X.

Meanwhile, residents living on Terra Cruz Lane and Parasol Lane were evacuated after the incident sparked a gas leak which has now been contained.
