A horrific car crash took the lives of a Malaysian e-hailing driver and his Singaporean passenger after the car crashed right into a lorry in Johor Bahru yesterday morning (July 20).
A video showing the aftermath of the crash later found its way to social media, where it displayed the massive trail of destruction the accident left behind.

In the clip, it showed a white car that was mangled beyond recognition, where its bonnet was totally pulverised and its doors on the right ripped off due to the crash’s impact.
Inside the car’s interior, a pool of blood can be seen leaking its way out from the wreckage and spilling onto the road, adding on to the accident’s grisliness.
Not far from the car was a lorry, which appeared to have emerged from the crash with minimal damage.
