Most of us might not bat an eye when encountering minor accidents involving other vehicles. But a recent incident in Marymount raised a few eyebrows as one car found itself in a particularly precarious position.
On Saturday (9 Jul), a TikToker shared a video of a GetGo car that mounted a road divider and ended up perched at a 45-degree angle off the road.
The video later went viral, garnering over 192,000 views.
Many curious netizens wondered how the car ended up in that position. Some also joked that it wasn’t a very “merry mount” for the driver.

In the video, the GetGo car had mounted the road divider. It was stuck at a 45-degree angle with its right tyres precariously off the ground.
Debris can be seen strewn on the road between the two vehicles. The yellow barrier also appeared to be damaged.
Within a few seconds, the driver of the second car can be seen examining the damage on his vehicle just as the GetGo driver alighted his car.

It certainly is interesting how the car ended up in such a position.
But regardless of how, we are glad it seems like nobody was injured in the accident.
Hopefully, both the drivers could talk things out and reach an amicable settlement for the damages.
