A seemingly minor collision turned into an expensive incident for the driver of a Rolls-Royce in Monte Carlo. The luxury vehicle struck a retractable metal bollard directly in front of a high-end casino, sustaining considerable damage and leaving a massive oil slick on the marble entryway.
Damn, it started bleeding!
Video footage circulating online shows the car hitting the bollards, after which oil began to leak rapidly and spread across the casino's front area. The situation worsened when the vehicle was moved, with its wheels driving through the spilled oil and extending the slick over a larger marble surface.
The images, posted on Instagram, quickly went viral. Numerous onlookers gathered to film the incident, and online reactions were swift. "Damn, it started bleeding!" one user commented, while others made light of the situation. "That's one way to change the oil, I guess," another wrote.

The incident sparked widespread online discussion, largely due to the significant damage to the large SUV from what appeared to be a minor impact. "One little bump and all hell broke loose on that Rolls-Royce. Poorly built!" one person exclaimed. "Doesn't such an expensive SUV have sensors on the bumper?" another internet user questioned.

Some offered technical explanations for the leak, suggesting issues with the oil pan, oil cooler, or hydraulic steering system, depending on the component affected by the impact. "Stop the engine, bro... call a tow truck, light your cigar, and walk away from the scene," one commenter advised. "The engine has no oil left, but they keep driving the car. So, the repair list includes a general engine overhaul," another user wrote. "There's really no point in owning a Rolls-Royce without front obstacle sensors while driving," was another common sentiment.
