A US teen has been arrested after posting a video of himself titled "Me driving like an idiot" on YouTube that showed him crashing into multiple cars.
Eighteen-year-old Robert Kelley from Florida was charged with two counts of leaving the scene of a crash with injuries after posting the video clip online.
The four-minute video has since been removed from YouTube, UPI reported.
Kelley filmed himself crashing into four vehicles and put five people, including himself, in the hospital.
He was arrested after posting the video online, the report said.
"He wasn't concerned about anyone's safety," Sergeant Eugene Griffith told WESH.Com.
"He just drove in a manner, cutting people off left and right just a total disregard for our citizens. We're just really lucky we're not dealing with a death in this case," he said.
Kelley is also facing charges of reckless driving and driving without a license.
