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.

Thanks LTA!

  • 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

    Motorcycle riding is a sensory experience beyond the exhaust

    Riding a motorcycle is like taking your nose on a wild adventure. You're cruising down the road, expecting to smell nothing except exhaust fumes and perhaps rubbish, when suddenly - bam! - you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling char kway teow from a nearby coffeeshop. Heck, you might even catch a whiff of someone's fancy perfume as you zip by. It's like your bike has magical powers, transforming an ordinary ride into a sensory rollercoaster. It's these unexpected olfactory deli

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 2

    Note: Click here to read Pt. 1, where the journey began in Hong Kong. NEXT UP: CHONGQING Day 3, cont.: Dad had decided on the scenic route to Chongqing - train. We did not realise that the immigration process at the Hong Kong Kowloon West station involved both the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities, so we found ourselves in a rush to board the train (we boarded minutes before the scheduled departure). Through the eight-hour journey, the passing sights made me realise the diversity
