Viral video shows astonishing Texas crash
05:21 PM MST on Wednesday, July 16, 2008
CENTER, Texas – Except for people from East Texas, it's doubtful many have heard of the city of Center. But now the town, southeast of Longview, has become pretty well known after a local bank surveillance camera captured an astonishing accident.
The video, which has been e-mailed under the title "Camera21," shows the view underneath the canopy of the Texas State Bank at 3:01 p.m. on July 2 in Center and points toward the customer drive-up lanes.
A white Dodge pickup towing a travel trailer turns the corner and drives into frame and the trailer, too tall to go under the canopy, accidentally clips the canopy causing it to crash down. The 15 second clip shows the canopy crush the truck as it crumbles to the ground.
Center police confirmed the accident to News 8. A dispatcher who answered the phone said no one was hurt.
The bank refused to comment on the crash.
