According to the videos, Mbosso's car seemed to have been knocked by an oncoming vehicle on the passenger's side where he had been seated, forcing the airbag to deploy.

The other vehicle in the accident was mangled at the front, and its bumper was dislodged from the impacts.

The videos also show that police were present at the accident scene while Mbosso and his crew were attended to by an ambulance.
