Ford Maverick Nails Ford F-150 That Was Backing Up: Video

According to national traffic studies, most U.S. accidents happen within 25 miles of home, sometimes right in the driveway. One Ford F-150 driver found that out the hard way when a Ford Maverick struck them as they attempted to back out, all caught on camera, begging the question: who’s really to blame?

The security camera footage surfaced on r/CarCrash on Reddit. The original poster asked the community “who’s in the wrong” and let them debate in the comments. It’s not clear if they’re involved in the accident, or which vehicle they were driving if they were. The video shows a Ford F-150 beginning to reverse out of a driveway well before the Ford Maverick comes into frame.

When the Maverick does appear, it almost instantly collides with the F-150 as its driver tries to ease it into the street. The F-150 driver appeared to notice the inbound Maverick and attempted to stop, but it was too little, too late. The two Blue Oval pickups make contact. The Maverick noses hard into the F-150’s left rear quarter panel, putting a sizable dent into the lower half of the bed.

It’s not clear what kind of damage the Ford Maverick sustained, but the impact was hard enough to literally rock both pickups. The original poster doesn’t give much information on the incident, either, but the general consensus is that both drivers are at least partially to blame – although the Maverick could have made more of an attempt to stop if they saw it coming. And it’s entirely possible they didn’t if they were driving distracted.

Although, cheekily, someone in the comments points out that the real antagonist of the situation is the original poster who recorded the video from a computer monitor instead of just uploading the unadulterated footage – and vertically, at that.

Though the blue Ford Maverick pictured here may have made some questionable decisions behind the wheel, at least they weren’t this Maverick that plowed through an active school crossing.
