- inactive, on 07/11/2008, -0/+511HIS SON AND HIM SURVIVED.
FROM SHELBY COUNTY TODAY:
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. - luv2sor, on 07/10/2008, -10/+392It looks like it crushed the truck on its way down.
- McBadass, on 07/10/2008, -7/+355Nooooo way that just happened.
- zeabu, on 07/11/2008, -22/+275Darwin approves.
- exomni, on 07/11/2008, -10/+259*cough* it was a man *cough*
A woman wouldn't have made it out of the driveway with that trailer. - TomTruelle, on 07/10/2008, -7/+180Wow... I replayed it about a dozen times. Still trying to figure out if there was maybe a way this person couldve survived...
- inactive, on 07/10/2008, -18/+171Looks like he (SHE) was trying to go around it, but didn't take it wide enough.
- ayeroxor, on 07/11/2008, -2/+138If you're stupid. When I'm in a moving van or towing something, I'm scared ***** about any overhangs within sight. I would creep like a snail around this *****, certainly not just plow the ***** through it.
/2008-07-10: Added '*****' to Firefox built-in dictionary. - honkimon, on 07/11/2008, -3/+137"I think i would sue. Dont think it should have come down like that. "
Why is our society so ***** up? See above in quotes. Douchebag - sfcaptainrob, on 07/11/2008, -9/+125What was the awning made of balsa wood or something?
- charlieville, on 07/10/2008, -10/+118That Bank has really raised their ATM fee.
- peterjmag, on 07/10/2008, -76/+171*cough*It's a woman*cough*
- koolmoecraig, on 07/11/2008, -16/+111Guess he couldn't DODGE that roof could he? Get it Eric? Dodge truck. Dodge. Ha, man that's witty.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 07/11/2008, -1/+96Sue!? The bank should ***** sue the driver! You should ALWAYS know the clearance of anything you are towing. This was no ones fault but the drivers.
- kleptomaniac, on 07/11/2008, -2/+91He lived. Natural selection doesn't work all the time.
- 4Prophecy, on 07/11/2008, -7/+89It's not a woman; read below.

"Somehow he was able to unbuckle the seat belt and exit the other side of his truck as it was falling."
Probably the fastest he has ever moved in his life. - thashiz, on 07/11/2008, -8/+77I love that there's an Auto Zone across the street.
- mrfreeziexp, on 07/11/2008, -10/+77At worse, that should have just damaged whatever they were towing. That roof should not have fallen down so easily. I guarantee you that whoever built that will be in court very soon.
- shadowofdeath15, on 07/11/2008, -1/+66He didn't DODGE it, but he did RAM it!
- exomni, on 07/11/2008, -1/+63I think you mean "razed".
- IllBeBack, on 07/11/2008, -0/+60They lived:

I'm scared to even guess how much of your family is on welfare. - Zoxy, on 07/11/2008, -0/+56Good, now I can laugh.
- monkeycatDx, on 07/10/2008, -3/+55That's ***** insane!
- qpingu, on 07/11/2008, -1/+52Playing the clip in slow motion, it actually looks like the roof only landed on the side of the car. At very worst, the ceiling may have hit around the driver's shoulder area, but I don't think this accident was fatal. You'll also notice that the trailer hit the roof on the very edge, and it looks a bit wider than the car as well.
I doubt they were trying to use the ATM driving at that speed and that far away, just trying to get around but misjudged the ceiling. The driver was more unfortunate than stupid, and I certainly hope things turned out for the best. - Impeller, on 07/11/2008, -0/+50Have they stopped screaming yet?
- Richgarner, on 07/11/2008, -0/+48Idiots. They keep the internet amusing.
- ayeroxor, on 07/11/2008, -2/+49Apparently, hyphens were strewn everywhere.
- expert01, on 07/11/2008, -1/+49It was a 250 ton steel plate balanced on 4x4's surrounded with fake bricks. Obviously.
- Cancerkitty, on 07/11/2008, -2/+48Or just forgot the trailer was as tall as it was. It's easy to do.
- exomni, on 07/11/2008, -0/+45He did. And so did his 10-year-old son in the passenger seat.
The corner of the awning only hit the driver's-side of the truck. - Rocketbird, on 07/11/2008, -0/+41Who the ***** is Eric?
- ayeroxor, on 07/11/2008, -1/+42and yet...
- voyetra8, on 07/11/2008, -8/+49How is it that someone had access to the actual surveillance video, yet decided not to post any information whether the person lived or died?
It is a mystery. - ayeroxor, on 07/11/2008, -5/+46"a strong burst of wind might have done what that trailer did."
Please tell me you're kidding and you're not so ***** stupid you think a "gust of wind" has the focused kinetic energy of a solid mass of several tons, with momentum, impacting an area of about one square foot.
Please?
Why do people forget that their CARS, let alone multi-ton trucks with possibly multi-ton trailers, are several tons of moving mass? It will ***** THINGS UP THAT GET IN THE WAY. - inactive, on 07/11/2008, -4/+46I agree with mrfreeziexp. This looks like defective contruction. There should have been supports at the far corners as well as stronger support throught. The awning looks far too heavy for what little weak brick supports it had.
- iDiggIt42, on 07/11/2008, -1/+42Sorry for the comment abuse, but if anyone's curious, there's a news story on this at http://209.85.141.104/search?q=cache:KvRSLXgFnk8J: ...
- Definition, on 07/11/2008, -0/+40Way to ram through it.
- ViSHiX, on 07/11/2008, -24/+64The best part was when the thing fell down!!!
- baskingturtles, on 07/11/2008, -3/+43holy *****, that is terrifying
- Namco, on 07/11/2008, -7/+45NO VIDEO
lulz - killerknives, on 07/11/2008, -1/+34I disagree, in 3 seconds he unbuckled his seatbelt and exited the other door, that guy's survival instincts are ***** amazing
- K3ITHK, on 07/11/2008, -1/+33I don't think irony means what you think it means.

There is a chance the driver lived looking at these pictures. - Walker2323, on 07/11/2008, -1/+30Holy *****!
- jjohnstn, on 07/11/2008, -2/+30Really?
- Ramenhood, on 07/11/2008, -0/+26Shelbyville? Ha, this wouldn't happen in Springfield.
- inactive, on 07/11/2008, -1/+26You Fail ,The enemy has captured your intelligence.
- JBmtk, on 07/11/2008, -7/+32Let me take a look......yep......O.K......alright.....Indeed, the concrete DID in fact fall down on the truck, making it seem like it was crushed. I also take it that the people that dugg you up were probably wondering the same thing.....
