The impact caused flames to erupt at the front of the Porsche, quickly engulfing the entire vehicle. The driver of the Porsche was able to escape the vehicle before it was fully consumed by fire.

The Toyota Corolla Cross, damaged by the collision, was forced to pull over to the emergency lane.

Firefighters arrived at the scene shortly after the crash and managed to extinguish the flames by 9:30 a.m. However, the Porsche had already been incinerated, leaving only its charred metal frame behind.
