China: Driver Sparks Chaos With Fireworks Before Fleeing Police

This is the tense moment that a Chinese driver almost destroyed his own vehicle while setting off fireworks on a roadside before being confronted by police.

The video ended with the smoke billowing across the roadway as the car sped away and the police were left behind in the drifting haze.
