A Florida car owner was left speechless after a truck driver backed straight into his vehicle, even though it was the only parked car in the lot. “My parked car was rear-ended in the dumbest way possible,” wrote Gnartothecore in his post, fittingly shared on r/mildlyinfuriating. While the scene looked like an intentional hit-and-run, the truck driver did, fortunately, self-report the accident to the police. Still, Gnartothecore and thousands of other Redditors couldn’t believe how this could happen.
OP Explained that the Truck Driver Was Attempting to Do a Pickup at the Loading Dock
“How do you hit the lone car with nothing around it????” Gnartothecore exclaimed in disbelief. He also shared some extra context about the Florida truck driver who hit his car. Apparently, it was a warehouse worker next door who was attempting to load his vehicle from the cart at the loading dock. The victim of the accident had been parked in front of his warehouse.
Gnartothecore continued, noting that parking is shared among three warehouses in the area, but he only parks near his workplace’s loading dock when no trucks are scheduled for pickup that day. “Where I’m parked is where trucks dock, not where vehicles drive through so I never back all the way up to the dock,” OP wrote, explaining exactly why his car was sticking so far out near the parking lot’s main lane.
Some commenters expressed their grudge against truck drivers like the culprit in OP’s post. “Pickup drivers are trying their best to worsen their reputation day by day,” remarked one user. “He had all that parking lot and hit the one car in it,” sighed another. “That seems straight up intentional,” pointed out a third.
While it wouldn’t be hard to believe the driver’s crash was deliberate, Gnartothecore’s mention of the man calling the cops on himself says otherwise. “Just a stupid driver who at least had some integrity,” said a user.
Circling back to the “how this happened” of the accident, one commenter said that these sorts of crashes occur more often than people might think. Others upvoted in agreement, with one adding that the driver might not have had a backup camera, meaning that one lone car in the parking lot was exactly where his blind spot would have been.
