Pilon is correct - the driver and passenger escaped unscathed.

Also, the damage to the cab isn't anywhere near as bad as one might think from watching the video - here's what it looked like from the front of the truck:

News article:

Quote:

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.

I found the video funny because no one got hurt and I had read about this on Jalopnik when it happened and I just now stumbled across the video with the addition of the "FAIL" tag.

I'll be happy to PM an admin and ask them to remove all associated posts if it bothers anyone. It's just a photo thread afterall. Nothing worth fighting or offending over.

I don't think there's any problem Adam, some folks just have different senses of humor.

FYI, that replay is sped up about 3x faster than normal... no way he was driving that fast when he hit!

I bet the camera did not survive.

If I knew that someone had gotten hurt, I wouldn't have knowingly posted it.

I'm warped, but not that warped.
