I was driving into work. Noticed movement in my top right portion of windscreen. Looked up to see the fireball streak down and break up. It was a few degrees north (10 perhaps) of the rising sun from my perspective, very bright even with the impending sunrise. Colour was mainly light but could have had some blue and orange.

Remarks
Seemed a 'classic' bright headed burning object leaving a trail of smaller burning pieces behind that fizzled out, then the main part went out. Couldn't really tell if the main part exploded or not but there were a number of fragments in the trail before it stopped.
