Big Accident

This guy managed to take out an entire bank awning with an RV trailer.

Wow. Awareness of one's size in relation to their surroundings is something that guy needs to learn before he ever drives again.

While this guy is pretty wreckless for doing something like this, I could probably see this being an honest mistake. Lucky for him he had the awareness to jump over to the passenger seat as it tumbled down.

Well, it was obviously a genuine mistake, and he's lucky he's alive anymore... But is it me or should the awning at least provide a little resistance so he can realise it ain't gettin through that shit.

Definitely a mistake.
And it shows the awning wasn't built well at all.

I agree. It can be hard to adjust driving with a new trailer.

Hmm, video not working for me.

He did a lot of damage there. Wonder if his insurance covers all that.

Also, shouldn't he have a special license to drive a trailer that big...?

No. You only need a commercial drivers license (CDL) for driving a tractor trailer or other commercial vehicles.
