NEW TAIPEI CITY, TAIWAN — Things are looking up for a poor Taiwanese man who crashed his delivery van into four luxury cars collectively worth over a million dollars.<br /><br />Apple Daily reports that 20-year-old Mr. Lin was helping his mother with a delivery around 5 a.m. on Dec. 16 when he dozed off behind the wheel and smashed his van into four parked Ferraris.<br /><br />The group of friends who owned the cars had been getting ready to set off on a road trip when the accident happened. Luckily, no one was injured.<br /><br />A breathalyzer showed Lin hadn't been drinking — he was just really exhausted from working all night.<br /><br />Still, Lin is looking at an eye-popping NT$10 million in repair costs for the four sportscars. That's over three hundred grand in USD — a huge deal for a barbecue restaurant employee.<br /><br />It would have taken him more than two decades to pay off that amount on his salary alone. But many have sympathized with Lin and are coming forward with donations.<br /><br />Strangers have so far chipped in over US$24,000 to help pay for damages.<br /><br />Lin has also apologized to the Ferrari owners for the accident. Even though it wasn't intentional, he acknowledges that he committed a wrong and should pay the cost.
