No way they could live through that. Looked to be only 6-10 inches from the ground to the top of the truck after all was said and done.

Looking at it closely it looks like they only caught it with the about one foot of the left of the truck... Looks like it deystroyed the truck right at the doors. They might have been lucky and not been crushed, but you never know.

If you notice they fall forward due to the sudden slowing when the camper hits the structure. That law of physics would be hard to counteract even if you tried. That would have their heads in their laps when the top crushed down to the bottom of the doors. I'd be surprised if they lives for more than 5 seconds.

At the risk of ruining the fun of this thread, they did indeed live. lol





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.

Happy to be wrong here. I did not consider it grazed the cab but on further review of the original video you can see how that happened looking at the shadows.

Thanks.
