A brief video capturing a collision between a Tesla Cybertruck and a G-Wagon has gone viral, sparking a storm of reactions on social media with many calling it a “luxurious accident.”
Though details of how the accident occurred remain unclear and no injuries were reported as of press time, the incident has reignited online fascination with luxury, and the wealth-driven spectacles on Nigerian roads.
The six-second clip, shared on X.com (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday by user #dammiedammie35, showed a burgundy-colored Cybertruck and a black G-Wagon involved in the crash.
“Cyber truck jam G-Wagon keh? Who go pay who like this?” the caption read, capturing the general mood of online spectators who were more intrigued by the high-value nature of the vehicles involved.

A Cybertruck had reportedly split into two earlier March in Texas by an out-of-control Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
The wreck reportedly involved a G-Wagon driver who suffered a medical emergency and veered off the road, crashing into seven parked cars, one of which was a Cybertruck.
