1. Please tell me that's not real. I don't need to see someone die like that.

2. Was gonna say 'Gotta be a dead guy in there'.
But saw the passenger door come open.
Wonder if he made it?
And...was he talking on a cellphone?
Betcha!

3. Epic FAIL....
It looks like the falling masonry just barely clipped the driver's side of the vehicle. I think they probably got out alive, but with soiled undergarments.

6. That is terrible. If that is real, it would be nice to have had a warning.
Did that person make it out okay?

11. That's a novel way to get a teller's attention fairly quickly... not very bright, but effective.

12. The man and his son made it out uninjured, miraculously.
Truck/Travel Trailer Crashes Texas State Bank- July 2, 2008

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.

(Happened on Tenaha Street in Center, Texas)

14. Yes, it's real. Found some pictures of it after everything fell.

Looks like the news source doesn't keep their articles in archives but I found a forum with all the info and pictures. The man driving had his 10 yr old child in the vehicle too. Both escaped unharmed.

Pictures of the aftermath are at the link.
