This driver doesn't realize that his Dodge Ram is too tall for the drive through ATM Bank Awning. It does not go well.

Judging by the size of this moron's "camping rig", he already knows all about throwing money away.

Now he just does it with more flair.

Holy fuck i was just expecting a bad dent or some roof damage and we can all laugh and have a good time. Didnt expect almost certain death of anyone in the truck as well as possible tellers at the window

Wow, that came down surprisingly easy.

The overhangs are built for up and down motion. That kind of sheering motion is not something that it is designed for. That said, incredible amount of force moving that thing.
I would say non-snuff as the edge looks like it simply pulls through the outer driver side door.

Not fake, by the way. This happened in Shelby County (only in Texas). The dumbass driver was actually not trying to go through the drive-in ATM, but hit the corner of the awning as he was driving around the side of the bank. He and his ten-year-old son escaped unscathed.


""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.""

knowing the way dodge trucks are built, put a new cab/bed and it'll prolly be ready for the road again.

> It's too bad he lived.

Is it? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand! Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them?

p.s. those campers are made of crappy thin fiberglass/vinyl with a weak square tube aluminum or wooden frame, personally, I think the construction of this drive up patio roof thing looked WAY WAY under-bid and impossible to be adhering to any code!

Glad there wasn't anyone else in the closer drive-through lanes.

Yeah, there's no way a properly constructed awning should have come down like that, vs. just shearing off the roof of the camper.

^that's what I thought too, MG.

Sorry on the snuff call there, Eric. I knew it wasn't a real invocation.

Good quality construction in Texas? Hah! The last thing that was built properly around here was the Alamo.

Lucky he had air conditioning. If he'd been driving with his arm out the window... Well let's just say it'd be the last time he'd drive with his arm sticking out the window (unless he went to England or Japan I suppose).

Gas isn't expensive enough yet, every day i see chumps like this in their Hummers sitting in the parking lot idleing the engine to power the air conditioning for an hour. $10/gal gas FTW.

*dark *actionpack

Dark from fact that it exposes that US building code enforcement can be as shoddy as that of what causes tragedies in other parts of the world.

Loving the mega-upvoting for ant.

Heh, watch the pneumatic tube.

It's crazy -- the roof is pushed forward and it disconnects the tube from the kiosk. Then the tube slides down and gets deflected off of the brick column that is now underneath it, then it stands up on end and rotates over barely faster than the ceiling is falling, until it is lying flat on the ground beneath curb level. If the ceiling didn't break apart, I'd expect that fragile tube to be in one piece.

At 00:10 (03:01:13 on the camera timer) you can see the inner structure of the awning.

Do you have to build everything from plywood and spittle in the US?

Lucky for the driver though.

In Germany, he would have been crushed under tons of solid masonry or concrete.....but he wouldn't have been able to scratch it with his ridiculously big car/trailer in the first place......then again, we don't have that many drive though ATMs here.....and no cars that big.

Let's say, it probably wouldn't have happened here.......or anywhere except the US.
