Traffic accident quickly escalates into armed robbery
Video released by police shows the scene following the collision between vehicles. The footage captures a car bumper lying on the road, along with a dark-colored sedan that sustained rear-end damage.
A white sedan behind it is seen emitting smoke following the crash.
