# Brabus G500 4×4² Flips After Getting T-Boned by a Toyota Prius

Buddha Bar is a famous bar and restaurant in London that thrives on extravagant performances; however, we have a sneaking feeling that rolling one of their 570-horsepower [Brabus G500 4x4²](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/8153/brabus-manages-to-make-the-mercedes-g550-4x4-even-more-ridiculous>) promotional trucks was *not* part of an act this past Saturday. According to several social media accounts, the massive Brabus toppled over after blowing a red light and getting t-boned by an Uber [Toyota Prius](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/3318/the-2016-toyota-prius-c-makes-no-sense-and-thats-the-appeal>).

One video catches the Brabus sliding to a stop, but the extend of the damage makes it clear the vehicle did at least one complete roll and possibly a spin as well. Since a G500 4x4² rollover is like a giant dinosaur hitting the ground, the truck destroyed everything in its path, including a bus stop. Although both cars sustained heavy damage, neither party involved had any real injuries.

The Brabus G500 4x42 involved in the accident was used to transport [Buddha Bar](<https://www.buddhabarlondon.com/>) guests and as a promotional vehicle. Buddha Bar also has a Rolls Royce in its London fleet, which stands to get a little more use now that this beast is out of commission.
