Police Searching For Driver Who Caused Petrol Station Fire After Doing Doughnuts

Detroit police are looking for a driver who crashed into a petrol pump and sparked a huge explosion after doing doughnuts around a gas station.
CCTV footage captured the moment the individual was driving recklessly at the petrol station on August 22, before proceeding to smash into one of the pumps.
The pump, as well as the car, then burst into flames and, despite the vehicle being severely damaged by the collision, the driver still fled the scene.
In a bid to locate the culprit, Detroit Police Department has now shared the video online.
