Brutal footage shows moment pickup truck crushes $250,000 Lamborghini with driver inside

When you buy a new car, the last thing you want is for it to get damaged, especially if it's set you back $250,000 (£184,310).

But as every motorist knows, you can't account for the actions of other drivers when you're on the road – which is unfortunately something Florida man Ramon Ferrer learnt the hard way.

Ferrer had been driving his five-month-old Lamborghini through the parking lot of a local gym in an Orlando suburb when he was involved in an unfortunate collision.

The incident was caught on camera, showing Ferrer reversing away from a pickup truck, only for the vehicle to mount the bonnet of his Lambo seconds later.

The terrifying moment has since gone viral online, which you can check out below:

The driver of the pickup truck has since been described as a woman, with no further identifying details given.

Explaining that he'd been looking for a parking space at the gym, Ferrer told local outlet WESH that he'd had just seconds to react after seeing the car approach.

"She’s going kind of fast, so I’m literally stopping. I’m reversing," he said.

"I guess she never saw me, and so she just ran through me."

Ferrer dived out of his vehicle seconds after the truck mounted the front of his car, adding: "I jumped out of the car because I saw the wheel ... kept on spinning. So I'm like, she still wants to go."

He was extremely lucky to walk away from the incident with a damaged car and no injuries, crediting an issue with the truck and some divine intervention for saving his life.

"The only thing that actually saved me was God, of course, 100 percent," he said, adding: "But another thing was her axle got stuck on my pillar on the windshield. If not, she would have just wrecked me over completely.

"It would have been a nightmare. I wouldn't be here right now, which is kind of crazy."

Unsurprisingly, the collision drew onlookers from across the parking lot, with several videos showing documenting the aftermath from every available angle. Ferrer also whipped out his phone, sharing a video of his car being dragged underneath the pickup as a tow truck tried to separate them.

While the car remains in the garage for (what I'd assume would be extensive) repairs, Ferrer is left scratching his head about how such a crash could have happened in the first place.

"I don’t know how you can miss a whole car," he added. "I mean, yes, I’m slammed to the ground because it’s a Lamborghini, but I mean, still, how can you miss a car?"
