What was meant to be a joyful moment turned into a nightmare after a Nigerian man crashed his brand-new Mercedes-Benz just hours after acquiring it.
The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, had reportedly purchased the luxury car from a dealership and decided to take it for a spin to experience its performance.
Unfortunately, his excitement was short-lived as he soon met with a devastating accident that completely wrecked the vehicle.
A video circulating on social media captured the man during his initial drive, showcasing the sleek car before tragedy struck.
Moments later, another clip surfaced showing the once pristine Mercedes reduced to twisted metal, raising concerns about the driver’s safety.
While the video did not immediately confirm the fate of the man behind the wheel, conflicting reports emerged.
Some sources suggested he had survived the accident, while others alleged that a passenger seated beside him had lost his life.
One account disputed the claim that it was a simple test drive, stating that the man, who was also a car dealer, had left the dealership, gone to a club with friends, and later engaged in a reckless street race.
It was during this high-speed competition that disaster struck.
The incident has since sparked widespread reactions online, with many expressing shock at how quickly joy turned into misfortune.
Some social media users criticized the alleged reckless behavior that led to the crash, while others extended their sympathies, hoping the driver learns from the experience.
This unfortunate event serves as a grim reminder of the importance of road safety, especially when handling high-performance vehicles.
