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.

That guy's retarded, but in all fairness, that roof wasn't exactly constructed super well.
And as far as I know he lived.

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.

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