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.

MS News has reached out to GetGo for comment and will update this article when they get back.

Glad nobody seemed injured

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.
