Driver falls asleep behind wheel and does epic burnout

A driver reportedly fell asleep at the wheel in traffic and caused a burnout.

Crashing into the car in front caused the car to stop but the driver still didn't wake up.

He continued to press the accelerator and spun the wheels of the pick-up truck causing the tyres to heat up and smoke due to friction.

Also known as a peel out or power brake, the burnout originated with drag racing.

This driver isn't going anywhere fast though, as the driver in front of him is so concerned that he smashes the back window in order to get in to turn off the engine.

Perhaps the pick-up truck driver was exhausted, a little burnt-out maybe…
