Weird how there's not more damage to the rear-left of the Ferrari. The truck must have entered already airborne.

Hey,

i am shure that ferrari lifted the truck, cause there is no damage on the rear of the ferrari visible.
I ve heared about similar accidents here in europe, people wearing snowboots or similar not usable shoes get stuck between the gaspedal and the brake ..... result, see pic!

No, I say the garage door only ends up where it is if it was the truck that crashed through - and flying a few feet off the ground.

no no..the ferrari was parked and the truck came over.

you can see the marks on the ceeling from the truck.

another point to this version is that there is a piece of the door between the cars...that could not have happend if the ferrari went trough the door.

Look at the Ferrari's license plate:
JunK iT.

BTW, I'm with the "Flying Truck" theory.

not possible... picture the garage with out the ford, Ferrari is parked exactly where it should be right in the middle nicely... assuming the Ferrari drove in through a garage managed to lodge itself under a truck like that it would most likely not be in what could be viewed as a good parking job.... there is also no way that part of the garage would end up under the back tire of the truck if the Ferrari drove in...also now matter how low ti the ground that car is the truck is not lifted and it wold have still recived more then just a broken tail light.... just my thoughts
