    Certainly can't say he abandoned the truck......owner knows EXACTLY where it is.

    This is cool and all but the driver will probably face legal action and the owner won't spend a dime of his own money

    There are a lot of stories about how this might happen.
    Photographs show the aftermath of a Volvo semi ramming into a Ferrari GTC4Lusso at a loading dock. Unraveling the story behind the crash feels straight out of Rashomon because there are so many different claims about the reason for this collision.

    A post on Reddit that seemingly first released this story took a class warfare angle by alleging "company owner decided to stop paying his drivers so one of them parked their semi on the owners [sic] Ferrari and just left it there." However, this does not appear to be accurate.

    Some great reporting from Tire Meets Road dug into the available details and found social media posts offering other explanations. Rather than being an issue with payment, the semi driver was allegedly facing termination and retaliated by ramming into the boss' Ferrari.

    Update part 2:

    The following is a quote from said friend of the Ferrari owner.

    "btw driver did this on purpose. he was being fired after complaining about having to take a drug test as well as not having a new truck when owner gave him 2019 truck....

    then asked owner if the ferrari that was parked outside warehouse was his, owner said yes, he then got into owner’s truck & deliberately crashed into it. 10:33 PM - May 7, 2020

    In yet another claim, Tire Meets Road found a Facebook comment from someone claiming to work for this trucking company. The person alleged that the business promised the semi driver a 2020 truck, but a poor performance from the worker purportedly caused this to fall through. Like in all of the other versions of this tale, it ended with the disgruntled worker crashing into the GTC4Lusso.
