A daredevil Chevrolet Camaro driver took a dangerous turn on the Golden Gate Bridge on Sunday, doing "doughnuts" on the iconic bridge that afternoon.

Captured in an Instagram video, the Camaro was taken on almost three 360-degree turns and left tire burns across three lanes, the Los Angeles Times reported.   

Several motorists called 911, and California Highway Patrol officers pulled over a vehicle that appeared to be involved. But no arrests have yet made in connection with the incident.

"If you watch the video, you can see that the vehicle is spinning within inches of a guardrail where there are tourists," CHP Officer Andrew Barclay told the San Francisco Chronicle. "It put a lot of people at risk unnecessarily."

The episode was "unbelievably stupid, unbelievably dangerous," according to Kary Witt, bridge manager for the Golden Gate Transportation District.

Witt has seen some high speeds and U-turns on the bridge before, but no doughnuts, he said.

"A lot of dumb things happen on the bridge, but not this," he told the Chronicle. "The margin for error out here is pretty small. It's really kind of shocking when you see people behaving this way."

Authorities are still investigating the incident, which involved an older model black Chevy Camaro.
