Suppose he filled his diaper? LOL

how ironic

There is a autozone across the street. I bet they seen the window sticker caption that says " If you can't dodge it, Ram It " It motivated them

It's any wonder they weren't killed when the canopy came crashing down.

I'm suprised noone was hurt. Before the camera gets crushed it looked like the cab got it pretty bad.

Somehow the driver lived, you can see how the very side of the wall just took out the door.

Man that's a rough day and luckily they are ok but, can you image this claim to your insurance company?

I watched an RV driver do the same thing out in Wyoming. I never could figure out why he did not see the roofline of the canopy over the gas pumps coming towards his windshield.

Chicago is low bridge city so you have to know where you are going when you drive a big truck.

Had another driver try to beat me to a loading dock (they only load one truck at a time) and he went straight where we were supposed to turn left to take a detour around a low bridge. I yelled in the CB for him to stop but too late.
He hit the railroad bridge and shoved the reefer about 8 feet into the trailer.

Found it!

YouTube - PU Truck Pulling Trailer Brings Down Bank Drive-Thru

..and Faster's post reminded me of Bill Engvalls stand up "Here's your sign", where he was talking about the truck driver who did just that. Cop comes up and says something like, "Get stuck did ya?" and the driver replies "No sir, I was delivering that there bridge and ran outta gas!" lmao
