Amid the incessant blaring of a car horn, a damaged red car appeared to have sustained severe damage to its front. Three of its doors were also open.
The car also seemed to have collided with the black car in front of it, with the impact causing it to spin around and come to a stop perpendicular to the flow of traffic.
