Joey? VACAVILLE, Calif -- It appeared pigeon droppings were to blame for a roof collapse at a Vacaville gas station earlier this week that nearly hit a woman.
The metal awning collapsed Monday at the Quick Way Gas Station on Merchant Street.
Vacaville fire department officials said the section of the roof was brought down by the weight of the bird excrement that had collected over the years.
Vacaville resident chris doss had just finished filling up her gas tank and gotten back into her car when it happened.
"There was just this exploding blast everywhere, said Doss. At first I thought Do I stay in the car for shelter? and I thought I'm at a gas station, so there could be something else going on. So I just ran for the clearing."
The gas station's owner explained he was unaware pigeon droppings had collected on the roof.
The owner said he's keeping the station open while waiting for crews to come and inspect the rest of the awning.
