A boy racer crashed his car live on TikTok moments after bragging about his 'reckless' driving.
The driver can be heard saying 'this is my playground, bro' as he weaves in between traffic on an East London A-road.
But seconds later the camera jerks violently and the screen turns black, with the sound of screeching tyres and a loud bang ringing out.
The car smashed into the central reservation on the A13 in Newham at shortly after midnight on Saturday, MyLondon reports.
The vehicle reportedly shot up in flames and in a second video uploaded by an eye-witness, the passenger of a passing vehicle can be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's a car on fire bro. Learn how to drive, did you feel the heat?"

In the TikTok live-stream, the driver was seen weaving in and out of other vehicles while travelling at what appeared to be dangerous speeds.
The driver said "this is my playground, bro" while another TikTok star asked him "how fast" he was travelling, adding: "What's the speed on? Man's playing with death, you mad?"
Witnesses driving past could see at least three police cars and ambulances with a black car on fire, with flames reaching a few metres high, billowing into the air.
One driver, Stephen Hill, commented: "Pick just about any night on the A13 between Dagenham and Aspen Way and you’ll find cars weaving in and out of traffic, undertaking, overtaking, driving recklessly."
Emergency services rushed to the scene including police officers, firefighters and paramedics and one man was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
The video has so far gained more than 310,000 views when reposted on Twitter, with many users commenting on the driver's "irresponsible" and "reckless" behaviour.
