Disoriented Mercedes Driver Crashes Head-On, Hides Vape Pen When Confronted
A Mercedes-Benz driver has gone viral online after a bizarre crash was caught on video, leaving many netizens speculating about the motorist’s state of mind. In the footage, the luxury vehicle can be seen slowly inching forward before colliding head-on into another car.

The man behind the wheel appeared confused and unresponsive when confronted by another road user. The latter calmly informed the driver that he had entered the wrong lane and had caused an accident. Strangely, the driver did not respond with urgency or alarm, and instead seemed unsure about the situation around him.
Shortly after the crash, the man was seen discreetly slipping a red vape pen into his shirt. Observant viewers noticed the action and raised questions about whether the vape might have contained substances that could impair judgement. While there is no official confirmation, the mere suggestion has reignited online chatter about a worrying trend involving so-called “Kpods” or THC-laced vape cartridges.
Social Media Reacts: “Kpods Again?”
The original video, shared on Facebook, included the caption “Kpods?”—a term commonly associated with illicit vape products believed to contain psychoactive ingredients. Although it remains unclear whether the man was actually under the influence, the post quickly gained traction as users speculated on whether this was another incident involving substance abuse behind the wheel.
Some users commented that the man’s blank expression and slow reactions were clear signs of impairment, while others cautioned against jumping to conclusions without toxicology reports. Regardless, the hidden vape pen has raised eyebrows and fuelled concern.
“This is getting out of hand. If he was high, it’s just a matter of time before someone gets killed,” wrote one commenter.
Call for Stricter Enforcement and Public Awareness
This incident adds to growing calls for stricter enforcement on the sale and use of vape products—especially those suspected of containing illegal substances. Vape pens have become increasingly popular among youths, despite being banned in Singapore. Enforcement efforts have ramped up in recent months, but online resale and discreet imports continue to pose challenges.
Authorities have not issued a statement regarding this specific crash, but road safety advocates are urging drivers to stay vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour immediately. As investigations continue, netizens are reminded to avoid speculation and allow due process to take its course.
For now, the viral video remains a sobering reminder of the dangers that can arise when impaired individuals take the wheel—whether due to fatigue, distraction, or more concerning reasons.
