An 18-year-old New York man has discovered what happens when a burnout goes wrong. The driver attempted to perform one in a gas station parking lot, but he lost control of the car, crashing into a pump, toppling it over, and starting a fire before fleeing the scene. The crash happened Sunday at around 5 a.m.
The gas station’s security camera caught the entire incident. The driver was behind the wheel of a Mercury Grand Marquis in front of the station’s entrance when he started the burnout. The video shows smoke billowing out from the rear tires before the driver takes off, turning toward the gas pump.
