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 drivers 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.

You would think that a structure that is exposed to that possibility, would be stronger than thatwhile his trailering skills definitely require work, I have to agree with G-man. The canopy should be more substantial than that...what would have happened in a tornado?

..in what actually happened to the truck.

The driver said he dove to the passenger side with his 10 year old son as soon as he saw the canopy start to move............
.......good move and quick thinking on his part.

He should sue the architect and builder for having and building such a poor design.:rolleyes: Then the building inspector.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:


No way that should have come down so easy...............

Maybe he can use those proceeds to pay the counter-suit against him for driving into the building.

Definitely not enough support there.
