“He so happened to look in the gas tank. There was chocolate in there. (Stokes) tried to get it out. He started picking it out with his hand and his hand got stuck. It was just chocolate. Chocolate and peanuts. He’s hurting,” Williams said.
Capt. Tony Knecht said firefighters resorted to cutting the filler pipe. Firefighters were then able to access the backside of the petrol tank opening to release Stokes’ fingers. “He got some abrasions on his finger,” Knecht said. “It’s nothing serious.” Firefighters wrapped Stokes in a blanket and placed a jacket on him as a cutting machine was used on the car.
“The only concern was the possibility of a spark with the fuel tank,” Knecht said. One firefighter kneeled nearby with a fire hose in case the rescue went awry. After being freed, Stokes slowly walked into a nearby ambulance where emergency personnel helped remove the pipe.

I can't wait until wearing your jeans under the butt fad goes away.
SteveC: Maybe he needs both hands to hold his bags up and with one trapped that's why they're at half-mast. Doubt it though!
He looked in the tank and there was chocolate in there? How does this happen?
"It was just chocolate. Chocolate and peanuts."
ROFL
Ditto to both SteveC and cath.
