¶1OPINION OF THE COURT
¶2THIS MATTER is before the Appellate Panel on appeal by the State of Florida from an order of the Honorable Peter M. Evans, County Court Judge concerning payment of restitution to one Gregory Harper by the Appellee, Charles Dooley. The County Court entered the order for restitution in an amount less than that claimed by Mr. Harper, that amount is approximately $3,000.00, this claim is the result of Mr. Harper’s vehicle being destroyed. Mr. Dooley was subsequently convicted of the charge of driving while under the influence of alcohol to the extent that his normal faculties were impaired as a result of said *99accident. The $3,000.00 difference is due to the insurance payment to Mr. Harper for their estimate of the fair market value of the vehicle versus the amount Mr. Harper owed on the vehicle.
¶3The critical point in this matter is Florida Statute 775.089 sub paragraph (l)(a) which states:
“In addition to any punishment the court shall order the defendant to make restitution to the victim for damage or loss caused directly or indirectly by the defendant’s offense, unless it finds reasons not to order such restitution.”
¶4It is the finding of the Appellate Panel that the loss suffered by Mr. Harper is indirectly related and that he should be awarded full restitution for the damage to his vehicle. It is therefore
¶5ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that this matter is remanded to the County Court with directions to hold a hearing and enter a restitution order for the full amount of damages suffered by Mr. Harper.
¶6DONE AND ORDERED this 22nd day of June, 1989 in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida.

¶8Honorable Harold Cohen concur.
