He drove into it. I guarantee you he wouldn't have been parked right there.

BTW, this area is notorious for flooding. The photog in that photo is an old colleague from my days in TV news, and both of us have spent our share of time standing out in the rain in that neighborhood in the past. Many years ago the cemetery a little ways down from there flooded and floated a bunch of caskets out into the road and left them there when the water receded. It's a somewhat industrial area, and the trucks came through smashing the old wooden caskets, sending body parts everywhere. People were swerving to avoid bodies. I'm sure there are people who still have nightmares about it 40 years later.

I'd love to see that made into a "Mayhem" commercial. Or a J K Simmons "we covered it" commercial.
