| 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. |

Am I alone in thinking the awning should be a bit stronger than that?

I dunno, it's probably not every day that you have a Dodge Ram towing a 12,000 pound trailer slam into something like that, but still, it looks almost like a game of "find the load-bearer" and the Dodge just won the jackpot.

I agree...I would imagine those are mainly constructed for simple weather protection...and designed mainly with vertical forces taken into mind - not so much massive horizontal ones.
Crazy video.
His insurance guy "I'm sorry sir...WHAT!?"
