The truck and trailer was probably worth 60 or 70k + the awning and the building it was connected to. I can't believe the guy made it out it looked like it crushed the whole cab to the frame.

Wow, I had to watch that a few times. You know he wasn't the brightest guy in the world to begin with, he was driving a Dodge. I hope everyone was o.k. That was an expensive day for sure.

im not sure if he made it out. but you can see the roof land on the truck, bottom out the springs and shocks, then tear the drivers side of the truck apart. if he had been closer to the pole he would have deffinatly been completely crushed.

the guy is an idot for hauling *** into the atm anyways, let alone with a huge 5th wheel behind him. i could tell it was a 6.7 cummins by the door badge, closer to the front door. some people are just plain dumb

That truck is about 8K and I bet that trailer was 10-12K and he was moving probably some 5-8mph. Its like a 20,000# wrecking ball. Those bolts on the concrete aint going to hold up.

More proof that idiots drive Dodges.

Jeezus. That guy is lucky there wasn't anybody using the other lanes of the drive thru at the time. He'd be up on an involuntary manslaughter charge.

He got off easy if you asked me.

Figure the bank charged him a fee?


I would be willing to bet the total bill was $250,000 plus
If you include truck and trailer as totaled
Bank building, ATM, electrical
Loss of business

Wonder if it was attached to building or was a stand alone structure becasue if it was attached to building I bet the building had structural damage.

That video was HOT on RV forum couple years ago.
This one was catch on a camera, but there are hundreds if not thousands similar every year. Do you know how tall are gas stations canopies? Usually over 15 feet. The legal height in US is 13-6
Gas stations made big margin for idiots

The installation of the carrier tubes and low-voltage wiring to control it with the intercom stations alone are worth $250,000.00. I would guess with canopy and stations it close to $800k after clean-up and replacement. Then from my experience with dealing with banks, he WILL be charged/sued a monetary amount for down time and inconvenience. Also we cannot see the damage occurred to the building when the canopy was ripped off.
As said above I'm glad to hear he and his son are OK and no one was i the other lanes.
I bet the tellers underwear are different shade now!
