Valet in trouble for parking wrongly costing $400k ... Geez

Let's hope this parking valet isn't expecting a tip...
Perhaps when he got behind the wheel of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, his lack of familiarity with the powerful machine meant his foot was a bit heavier than is necessary.
Or the problem could be that he wasn't used to being so high up in an SUV and simply didn't see the other cars in the parking lot outside the Epic Hotel, a luxury stopover in downtown Miami. Whatever happened, the consequences were not just extremely embarrassing for the driver, but also very costly for four car owners.

Cringe-worthy: A Jeep Grand Cherokee hopped over a Mini Cooper to land on top of a Maserati GranTurismo and a vintage Porsche 356 in Miami on Friday

The Cherokee appears to have landed on top of a Maserati Grand Turismo and pranged a vintage Porsche 356.
Another theory according to news channel Local 10 was that it was not the fault of the valet driving the Cherokee, but the Maserati driver leaving a parking lot ramp too quickly and driving it underneath the 4x4.

The front of a Mini Cooper was also clipped taking the estimate cost of the carnage to an eye-watering $400,000. the valet lost control over the vehicle, which hopped over the Mini Cooper and crashed into the Maserati and the Porsche outside the Epic Hotel downtown.As the website reports, the value of the Porsche, if authentic, could be worth as much as $200,000; tallies on the Grand Cherokee, GranTurismo S and Mini Cooper Countryman S come in at approximately $30,000, $120,000 and $28,000, respectively.
