There's a reason I call it Halloween
Truck barrels into Valentine's tent, injuring 4 (KHOU-11 News)
An accident Wednesday morning left some hearts broken at a tent in front of a Salvation Army store.
Almost nothing could be saved.
Apparently small white car ran into a truck, pushing it into a tent selling teddy bears, flowers and other Valentine's Day gifts.
"The truck just lost control, barreling into the area here," one worker said.
Then the truck caught fire under the tent, spreading it through the stand.
Both drivers and two people inside the tent were transported to the hospital for their injuries.
Relatives stopped by help clean up, but most of what was there wasn't salvageable.
Unbelievable.
I used to lock the doors on Halloween and refuse to go out because nothing good happens on Halloween.
As described on Bad Sports (appropriate, no?) I did take in a basketball game tonight. Thankfully, nobody ran into Hofheinz and caused it to burn down. Although that might provide the nitwits some incentive to get their sound system working!
