'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,' the 'San Andreas' actor recalls the incident.

AceShowbiz - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson recently swipesided a parked pickup truck in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The 43-year-old actor took to Instagram on Monday, June 15, to share with fans about the incident which he dubbed "a fun story."

The story was written as a caption for an Instagram picture. The picture showed Dwayne with a man standing next to a car which had a broken side mirror. "Here's a fun story to start your week off," the "San Andreas" actor wrote in the caption for the picture. "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." He then realized that he had just swipesided a pickup truck which was parked on the street, and broken the side mirror of the truck.

Instead of running away from the scene, the actor made his way back to that truck. As the truck's owner came, he explained the incident and expressed his intention to give compensation. Dwayne said, "You give me your info and I'll leave you mine and I'll take care of everything." The truck's owner whose name is Audie Bridges unexpectedly replied with the question, "Uhhh.. Are you The Rock?" Dwayne simply answered, "Yup." Audie then said, "Wow, this is gonna be an awesome story!" Both of them then laughed on the the street pointing at the broken mirror. Dwayne described themselves as "two ol' crazy buddies."

A few days after the incident, Dwayne went back to Audie to give the compensation. However, the Wakefield resident "refused to accept any money and said he fixed the damage himself." Touched by Audie's gesture, the actor wrote, "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," the "Furious 7" actor concluded his lengthy note.

Audie told the Boston Globe that the incident happened a month ago and the actor didn't do much damage to his truck so that he could fix the mirror by himself.

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.
