The entire film is a bit flashy and strange visually, but there is a specific scene when a character is watching TV which has some quickly flashing images

Kind of. In a dream sequence, a person finds a note on the street, looks up, a car is racing towards them, they grimace, and wake up. The moment of impact nor any aftermath is ever shown.
