Changing lanes on the road can be dangerous, especially if drivers fail to ensure that the coast is clear.
A white Toyota Vios ended up crashing into a black Porsche Panamera in Ubi on Tuesday (17 Jan) after such a manoeuvre turned awry.
As the driver of the latter attempted to filter into the lane to their left, the former car approached and was unable to stop in time, ramming into the Porsche. The impact of the collision caused the Toyota to flip over.
SG Road Vigilante (SGRV) shared footage of the incident on Facebook, stating that it occurred on 17 Jan at around 6.03pm, near Ubi Avenue 3.
The video starts with the Porsche, seemingly in the right-turning lane, signalling to filter into the lane to the left as traffic there moved smoothly.

At the same time, an oncoming white Toyota, seemingly oblivious to the Porsche turning into its path, kept going forward.
As the car didn’t appear to slow down, it eventually crashed into the Porsche. The impact of the collision caused the Toyota to flip over, landing on its side.

Of course, there were those who determined that both were at fault for not exercising patience, or being vigilant.
