"I'll Take Care of This Myself"—What the Chairman Told the Truck Driver Who Hit a Ferrari [Heartwarming Story]

[Financial News] A man in his 40s who works as a truck driver despite having lost his left wrist reportedly crashed into an expensive Ferrari while driving. However, the owner of the other vehicle reportedly reassured him instead.
According to the "Jadongcha Mania" board on Karrot Cafe on the 2nd, a man identified only as A, who introduced himself as a 41-year-old truck driver, recently posted a message titled "I Hit a Ferrari." A wrote, "I work as a truck driver, but I have a disability after losing my left wrist," adding, "Not long ago, I was involved in a really serious accident while driving, and the car I happened to hit was a Ferrari."
According to A, the Ferrari owner was "a chairman whom just about anyone would recognize." Immediately after the accident, A was so flustered that he reportedly held his head in his hands and could not say a word.
The vehicle owner's reaction, however, was unexpected. A said, "The chairman looked at my left hand and instead said, 'It's okay.' I just kept repeating that I was sorry."
A continued, "Then the chairman said, 'I'll take care of this myself,' and patted me on the shoulder." Even after the accident, A remained grateful and asked online users for advice, saying he wanted to send the chairman a small gift ahead of Chuseok. He asked, "Would it be okay to send a gift in a case like this, or would that just burden him or seem like I'm overdoing it?"
Many people responded that A should express his gratitude to the vehicle owner. One user wrote, "Yes, you can send him something. I recommend high-quality ingredients that he can enjoy with his family." Another commented, "That sounds just like a chairman." Someone else said, "It would be more valuable than a gift to tip off a television program about this kind person and publicize his company so it can prosper."
Others, however, said that practical compensation was needed rather than a gift, given the extent of the damage. Some users pointed to the Ferrari's repair costs and the insurance burden, arguing that the person who caused the accident should take full responsibility. In response, other users said A had posted the story to express his gratitude for the owner's consideration and criticized the excessive backlash against him.
Another user who read the story wrote, "There is still hope for the world," adding, "Stories like this should be shared." Others said that, considering A's circumstances, a modest gift expressing his gratitude would be more appropriate than anything excessively expensive.
