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.

zatojones - 2008-07-28 I'm not a huge fan of watching people die





cumstock - 2009-01-28 I'm glad the bank is still open through the repairs

- 2011-02-12 In retrospect, I think the best part of this is the fact that Texas newspaper reports specify exactly what submodel of trucks are involved in accidents.

That guy's retarded, but in all fairness, that roof wasn't exactly constructed super well.



And as far as I know he lived.



mouser - 2008-07-11

- 2008-07-11 I have a hard time believing that, by looking at the pancaked truck.

Its not that the awning was poorly constructed. Rather, that's one tough AMERICAN MADE TRAILER.



fluffy - 2008-07-11

- 2008-07-11 It looked to me like the roof just sheared the side of the truck, rather than pancaking it.



baleen - 2008-07-11



Yeah actually I'm going to blame the construction on that.

A trailer hitting a roof at ten miles an hour should not tend the entire building toppling down.



minimalist - 2008-07-11

- 2008-07-11 It's like they just stacked up some bricks and assumed it would hold. Good lord.



Lurchi - 2008-07-11

Ramming speed!



Caminante Nocturno - 2008-07-11

GusPlease - 2008-07-11

WAKE UP PEOPLE THE ROOF/AWNING WAS NOT DESTROYED BY THE TRAILER BUT RATHER A SERIES OF CONTROLLED EXPLOSIONS

Actually fairly incredible that he was able to unbuckle his seatbelt and get him and his kid out of the truck before it fell.



Camonk - 2008-07-11

- 2008-07-11 But a dunce with fast hands! That's how we make 'em in Texas!



SolRo - 2008-07-11

- 2008-07-11 you really think anyone that stupid wears a seatbelt?





Jen igma - 2008-07-19 and it's probably him not wearing it that saved his life. oh, the ironing!



Desidiosus - 2008-07-11

Gwago - 2008-08-21

Way to take "Drive Thru" a bit too literally.



phalsebob - 2008-09-05

Do they have building codes in Texas, or durn't they need no big guberment in in their britches?



klingerbgoode - 2008-12-18

holy momma!



Dutch Oven Fresh Pie - 2009-01-24

That's the kind of shit construction one should expect in Texas.



IrishWhiskey - 2009-02-05

No yeah, that'll hold.
