The collision led to an argument after the driver stepped out and questioned them about the damage caused to his vehicle.

Witnesses said the driver asked the women to pay for the damage. Instead of settling the matter, the situation quickly escalated. The women allegedly tried to leave the spot, which led to a heated exchange on the roadside as traffic slowed and passers-by began to gather.
