“Oh my god,” the camcar driver said at the sight of the accident.
MS News has reached out to the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) for comments.

Many netizens criticised the Maserati driver for not stopping at the junction and checking for oncoming traffic.

One user humorously said that a driver who could afford a Maserati could just buy a new SUV to replace the damaged Toyota Raize.

However, one commenter blamed the Toyota driver, possibly as a joke. They said the Toyota driver should have slowed down at the junction and honked at the Maserati.

Regardless of intent, others replied seriously stating that cars emerging from minor roads had to stop and give way to vehicles on the main road.
