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

    Why oolong tea could be the superior drink of choice at lunch

    Coffee - without sugar! - has long been (and still is) my go-to option to accompany my lunch. Amidst a larger 2025 goal of reducing the number of cups of kopi-o kosong I gulp down a week, however, I’ve recently thought about how my lunch experience can be switched up slightly with yet another sugarless drink: A can, or indeed bottle of oolong tea. Oolong tea is said to offer a perfect balance of flavour and functionality - perfect not just for complementing one's meal but also reinvigo

    Ready? Steady? Slow!

    Have you ever watched on of those baby crawling races? They are hilarious. I watch a lot of NBA, and sometimes they have these races as a halftime entertainment. And its hilarious because unlike most athletic races, there's an inherent unpredictability and chaos to these things. They get distracted, they get bored, they get tired. Babies doing baby things, you know.  Well, England thinks it can one-up the absurdity of racing: Introducing to you, Snail Racing.  It seems almost

    The fun in collecting postcards without (really ever) sending them

    I believe I may not be alone when I say that I’m quite the avid collector of postcards, but rarely ever send them out to family or friends. To some, this might seem counterintuitive, even wasteful. But for me, these miniature works of art serve a different purpose. They're windows into distant lands; time capsules of bygone eras; and conversation starters par excellence. In fact, in a city as fast-paced as Singapore, where our lives often revolve around our vehicles and the next destination
