The lorry driver was seen shouting with his hands out of the lorry and pointing at the taxi driver, shouting at him to stop at the side of the road.
The taxi was seen with its front visibly damaged after allegedly hitting the back of the lorry.
The lorry managed to catch up to the taxi driver, as he shouted angrily at the driver to stop, but the taxi driver then managed to flee again.
Potential penalties
It is a punishable offence to leave the scene of an accident, which is considered a hit-and-run – upon conviction, first-time offenders face a fine of up to $3,000 or a jail term of up to 12 months.
