Given the coincidental timing of the incident, many netizens couldn’t help but question if it had anything to do with the 7th month.

As the vehicle with the dashcam attempts to exit the car park, a white hatchback started inching forward from the lot it was parked in.

But here’s where things get truly bizarre — the white hatchback was allegedly unmanned.

This can be seen in the following zoomed-in footage.

While it’ll likely remain a mystery how the accident occurred, the slow pace at which the white hatchback inched forward suggests that no acceleration was applied.

Netizens proposed explanations

Given the timing of the incident, many netizens couldn’t help but wonder if our 7th-month ‘friends’ were responsible.

This Facebook user offered a more scientific explanation, hypothesising that the ‘vibrations’ from the lorry was the cause of it.
