The short video published by @supercar.fails on Instagram shows a Mercedes getting a forklift ride to the tow truck.

And the forklift operator drove up to the car and inserted his forks under it.

Fortunately, the tow truck was on the opposite side of the road, so the ride only lasted a few seconds.

It’s unknown if the car was damaged after being dumped by the forklift.

A 2023 Mercedes A-Class saloon costs approximately £31,395 in the UK.

The user @supercar.fails titled the video: “Do you think this damages the car? Removing illegally parked cars in China.”

And most users believe the car was seriously damaged.

One said: “This severely damaged the car. How do I know? My sister’s car was lifted this way by an idiot in her parking lot. The car had to be scrapped.”

Another said: “I’m sure it was damaged.”

A third pointed out:” Uh, yes, that damaged the car.”

While other users think that the driver deserves it for parking illegally.

One said: “Do not park illegally, simple as that.”

Another said: “Shouldn’t have parked it there.”
