The driver's father said it was a mechanical malfunction of the truck. I first thought the pyrotechnics must have ignited the fuel in the truck, but apparently that wasn't the case. I found a better video that shows flames erupting from the truck and the truck going into a right power slide before reaching the pyrotechnic fireball.
