The footage showed that only two vehicles passed through the intersection between the time the driver left the car and it exploded.
One was passing on the opposite side. It slowed down as it passed the abandoned vehicle. The other car made a turn from the right side and passed the abandoned vehicle about 20 seconds before it exploded.
Police from Sungai Kolok police station rushed to the scene to cordon off the area for bomb disposal and forensics officers to inspect the following morning.
The blast reduced the car into pieces that scattered about 100 metres around.
