    Hopefully the truck driver has good liability insurance.

    That's one hell of a sweeping generalization don't you think?

    Clearly all that we can determine here is that people who drive Dodges are dumb.

    Easy cheesie. Don't blame the dodge, blame the 5th wheel it's the one that hit the awning

    It takes 2 to tango. The trailer is at fault for not saying excuse me 1st, the awning is also at fault for being stuborn and not getting out of the way fast enough.

    Did you notice what happened to the truck when the overhead came down on it? I hope he had good *life* insurance, cause that's what's going to pay for the damages, I think

    The video has now been pulled but there was an explanation note with it that originally said that the driver and his son escaped injury. He was VERY lucky.

    At approximately 3 PM, Tuesday, July 2, a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500, pulling
    a new travel trailer, hit the corner of the Texas State Bank Drive-In
    on Tenaha Street, causing the complete awning to come to the ground.
    Luckily, the driver of the Dodge, Mickey Miller, of Garrison and his
    10 year old son were able to exit their vehicle uninjured.
    According to Miller he was circling the bank to park on the other side
    when the corner of his travel trailer caught the corner of the bank
    awning. Next thing he heard was a rumble as the awning started falling
    against his driver’s side door. Somehow he was able to unbuckle the
    seat beat and exit the other side of his truck as it was falling.
    Mark Ivy of Texas State Bank stated that the main lobby would be open
    for business while the drive-in is being repaired.
