Drifting Car Crashes into Lamp Post, Catching Fire

A drifting car crashed into a streetlamp post and caught fire in east China's Anhui Province.

The accident happened adjacent to a fireworks store. Firefighters immediately arrived on site to remove the firecrackers and successfully put out the car fire.

Surveillance video footage showed that a white sedan was drifting for several times around 01:00 at a crossroad. The car was then out of control and crashed straight into a streetlamp post. The driver, surnamed Tang, 23, escaped from the scene.

There was a minor explosion on the back end of the car when the firefighters were busy making preparations to put out the fire.

Later on Sunday, the driver turned himself in to the police. He, however, said that he was not drifting but looking for a toilet.

Local traffic police are investigating the accident.
