Horrifying CCTV shows silly driver going up in flames

A CCTV camera captured a careless driver causing a fire while testing a lighter at a gas station in Australia.

The video, uploaded on YouTube, captured the foolish motorist flicking his lighter right next to a gas pump in the Melbourne suburb of Thomastown.

Suddenly the fumes ignited, licking the driver before setting the ground alight. The man ran away from the scene, leaving the flames.

Another nearby driver is then seen grabbing a bucket of water, throwing it over the fire and putting it out.

The identity of the careless motorist has not been confirmed yet.
