Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Makes A New Friend After He Sideswipes Fan's Truck

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was on his way to work one Monday morning when he accidently sideswiped Audie Bridges' pick-up truck. The actor/wrestler recounted the accident on his Instagram account. "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 s---.. someone's not gonna be happy..'"

 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.

Johnson immediately turned around to assess the damages and spotted Bridges walking to his truck. In his Instagram post Johnson explained that Bridges cocked his head sideways and said "Uhhh.. Are you The Rock?"

The man could have cared less about the damaged vehicle and instead insisted on taking a photo with The Rock. A couple days later Johnson called the truck driver to get a damage report but Bridges had already fixed the damages on his own and refused to accept any money.

"I want to thank Mr. Audie Bridges of Wakefield, Mass. for being so cool about the whole thing," The Rock wrote in the post. "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."

Johnson is in Massachusetts shooting his latest film, "Central Intelligence" which also stars Aaron Paul and Kevin Hart. The film is set to be released in June 2016.
