Crashing your car can be disastrous, leaving you with a hefty repair bill and often a case of embarrassment. One driver may have felt shame when standing beside the accident scene covered in paint.

Unexpected (or expected?) paint job

Using the handle @dj_manzo_sa on TikTok, a man named DJ Manzo uploaded a video of a car accident involving a Polo and a BMW. The clip also showed the musician standing beside the cars with a young boy, both covered in paint.

DJ Manzo said in his post:

"I just bumped this BMW without insurance."

He further added in his caption:

Lights, camera, action

However, things may not appear as they seem.

Upon close inspection of the video, there seems to be camera and lighting equipment in the background. DJ Manzo also posted a video of himself and the boy still covered in paint and captioned the post, "On the job."

Given the nature of the DJ's work, it is safe to assume that he was possibly shooting a music video.
