Bollards are an essential safety feature put in place by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to reduce the impact and severity of an accident between an errant motorist and pedestrians. 

Over the years, many motorists have attempted to test the bollard's rigidity and robustness:

  4. Lotus Sportscar Vs Bollard (https://mothership.sg/2018/09/sports-car-bollard-accident-kaki-bukit/)
  5. Audi Sedan Vs Bollard

However, one thing in common is that all these cars failed against the bollard.

Watch this video to see the aftermath of a Ferrari 458 going head-to-head against a bollard:

What Happened?

A blue Ferrari 458 Speciale crashed head-first into a bollard at the junction of Marina Boulevard.

Below is a Google Maps view of the accident location:

Needless to say, the Ferrari's bonnet was a complete wreck.

Due to its rear-engine location, the Ferrari was still driveable.

Despite the significant damages, the Ferrari driver was persistent in shifting his car off the pedestrian pavement that he mounted for some weird reason.

Moments later, the police arrived on the scene.

On Closer Look

The location was oddly familiar after looking at the accident site using Google Maps.

I then realised it turned out to be the same location as the "Mitsubishi Lancer Vs Bollard" accident mentioned above!

Isn't it weirdly coincidental?

If it was a front-engine, can send the car to the scrapyard straightaway.

Noisy fellows but never seen an accident before, nevertheless looking at how they drive it's only a matter of time.

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    The art of doing nothing?

    Here’s a quick fun fact for those who’ve sworn themselves entirely off TikTok, out of the fear of having to run yet another social media account: You don’t actually need to log in to the app to scroll it. Quite incredibly (but also quite scarily), the platform’s algorithm is still able to curate an incredible array of videos that it thinks will make you want to keep scrolling. And for this existential-crisis-ridden 28-year old, it’s decided to feed videos more along the 'self-help’ route re

    Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    5 ways the Polestar 2 Core Edition proves less can be more

    With a less-is-more approach, the Polestar 2 Core Edition offers a more value-for-money entry into the Swedish brand.  What first comes to mind when you think of Sweden? IKEA, and probably ABBA. But there's plenty more that has come out of Sweden besides flat-pack furniture, meatballs and impossibly-catchy pop songs. Founded as a standalone brand just eight years ago and headquartered in Torslanda, Sweden, Polestar is a design-forward electric performance brand that wants to put its Sc
