Police in Australia issued a warning after a gender reveal involving a driver doing a burnout went terribly wrong.

Queensland authorities released drone video on Tuesday of the event, which happened in Norwell in April 2018, indicating the child would be a boy.

THE WILDEST GENDER-REVEAL MOMENTS OF 2018

The driver is seen spinning the Holden Commodore's tires, which were treated to cause blue smoke to billow out from them. After a few moments flames burst from underneath the car and black smoke replaces the blue.

Investigators released the video as a warning to people not to copy the stunt, 9 News reported. The driver was fined $1,000 and had his license suspended for six months.

The man's car was confiscated and he, two friends and the baby's grandmother were charged with various violations after police found the video online.
