Imagine having to endure a 12 to 18 month waiting list to finally get your hands on a brand new Ferrari 458 Italia supercar, only to have it crushed under the wheels of a Ford F-150 pickup truck.

Well, that’s exactly what happened to the owner of this sorry looking Ferrari, which only had around 500 miles on the clock. The car reportedly belongs to the CEO of I-Pathology and was involved in the accident over the weekend in Brandon, Florida.

While the crash is still being investigated, it’s thought that the driver of the 458 Italia was attempting to pass illegally across a double yellow line to get into a turning lane when it came into contact with the pickup.

The good news, or the bad, whichever way you look at it, is that the car is likely to be repairable since the area damaged most is the trunk. Check out the aftermath in the video below.

God look at that owner in his T shirt..
He deserves that just for wearing a t shirt like that while driving his ferrari..
 
Having read the title, I thought some modded F150-Raptor smoked the Itaia in a drag strip or something! Sad deal btw! :eusa_doh:
 
I've had a car smashed just 4 weeks after I got it and while i'm certain it was all in my mind, it just never felt the same again for the next two years. I'm certain he'll have the same lousy feeling...but if he tries to chop it in, the depreciation will hurt even worse.

*Sigh*... its a tough life...
 
Thank You ALL for viewing my Ferrari VS Ford F150 video!

AAHHH, Yes Ford does need to buy rights to MY video! I am the guy who drove up on the accident scene, jumped out and grabbed my video camera and did what I KNOW how to do! The Today Show already paid me to use my footage on a spot where they called and talked to Wes "The Ferrari Owner" about the accident. You can see both videos on my YouTube Channel : YouTube.com/JamesWorley

Again... THANK YOU ALL FOR WATCHING IT!

Ford Trucks: Built Tough!
