Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Sideswipes Fan’s Truck, Man Refuses to Accept His Money

Judging by The Rock’s post on Instagram, the little incident happened sometime last week, but the actor clearly felt the need to reach out to his fans and share the story. That’s the first thing we welcome, considering how famous these people are and how much of a difference they can make.

There’s another thing we undoubtedly find amusing: “I’m driving to set in my pickup truck - music blasting - I'm singing away like I'm having a one man party in my truck - then I hear a loud BANG.” Just imagine the wrestler singing like some diva; that must have been hilarious.

Nevertheless, it turned out the Bang! was from the damaged mirror his car terminated the moment he sideswiped the parked vehicle. The story goes on as mentioned, and what could have been a classic road rage, apparently turned into a happy way to solve an accident.

Not only did the truck's owner refuse The Rock’s money for the car to get fixed, but he even left the scene with a big smile on his face. And an exclusive fan picture to brag with on Instagram, of course.

Here’s the whole story as Johnson put it:

 

Here's a fun story to start your week off... I'm driving to set in my pick up truck - music blasting - I'm singing away like I'm having a one man party in my truck - then I hear a loud BANG. What the hell..? Look in my rear view and see I sideswiped another pick up that was parked in the street and destroyed the side mirror. First thing I thought was, "Aw shit.. someone's not gonna be happy..". I flipped a U-turn and drove back to scene. Just as I got out of my truck a guy was walking across the street to his truck. I said "Sir, is this your truck?". He stopped and stared at me for a good 5 seconds, looked around his neighborhood, looked back at me and "Yes it is. Why?". I said "Well, sorry to tell ya I sideswiped it and knocked the hell outta your mirror and may have done even more damage. You give me your info and I'll leave you mine and I'll take care of everything". He stared at me again, cocked his head sideways and said.."Uhhh.. Are you The Rock?". I said "Yup". He broke out into a huge smile and said "Wow, this is gonna be an awesome story!". I started belly laughing at that, then he started laughing and before you know it we're both standing in the middle of the street pointing to his mirror and laughing like two ol' crazy buddies. I checked back in with him a few days later and he refused to accept any money and said he fixed the damage himself. Want to thank Mr. Audie Bridges of Wakefield, Mass. for being so cool about the whole thing. Life is funny cause you never know who you're gonna run into... and sure as hell never know who's truck you're gonna sideswipe while driving to work.
