A sheepish driver has apologised to a petrol station after he sparked a large blaze when trying to kill a spider with his lighter as he filled up.
 
The motorist can be heard on surveillance video at the garage in suburban Detroit looking at the car and asking: "Is that a spider in there?"
 
Flames are then seen erupting along the car's side, the pump and the pavement as the man darts to safety.
 
Petrol station attendant Susan Adams hit the stop button on the pump and called firefighters, but the man had used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames by the time they arrived.
 
He escaped injury and his vehicle suffered little damage, but the petrol pump was destroyed.
 
Ms Adams said the man returned to say sorry the next day.
 
"He was sorry, he said he didn't know," she told WJBK TV.
 
"It is just one of those things that happen - stupidity."
