An X page shared the news about a traffic officer who tried to switch lanes along FW De Klerk Boulevard when the Porsche clipped his vehicle and sped off. What followed was a high-speed chase that ended near Century City. Photos were shared on 10 November 2025 by @_ArriveAlive with the caption:

"A drunk driver in a supercar hit a traffic vehicle in Cape Town, and then called a friend to the scene … Who was driving drunk too!"

The images showed three different vehicles, the Porsche that caused the crash, a Mercedes belonging to the suspect's friend, and the SAPS traffic vehicle. The damage to the traffic vehicle was visible, with the back bumper scratched, slightly broken, and protruding out where the impact happened.

The 25-year-old driver's breathalyser test confirmed what the traffic officer suspected. He was nearly three times over the legal limit. But what happened next left authorities stunned. The suspect called a friend to come to the scene, and when the friend arrived in a Mercedes, officers discovered he was also driving under the influence.

According to X page @TheTruthPanther:

"Alderman JP Smith, Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, called the incident "an all-time high in audacity. He praised traffic officers for their vigilance and perseverance in catching both offenders, highlighting the pattern of supercar drivers causing accidents along that stretch of FW De Klerk Boulevard."

The first driver was arrested for driving under the influence, reckless and negligent driving, fleeing the accident scene, failing to comply with a lawful instruction and damage to council property. His Porsche, which starts at R3.3 million before any extras are added, was impounded under the City's traffic by-law.
