White Pickups on a Rampage: Wreaking Havoc in the Streets of San Angelo!

SAN ANGELO, TX — Something strange is happening in town, and it involves white pickup trucks. One was a Ford F-150 and the other a Chevy Silverado, both with a thirst for destruction. Is it a full moon? Is there a secret society of white pickup drivers hell-bent on taking out local infrastructure? We may never know.

The chaos began at around 2 p.m. when a white Chevy launched an unprovoked attack on a telephone pole right outside the Arc Light Sports Bar & Grill at 441 Rio Concho Dr. Witnesses say the truck slammed into the pole with all the grace of a toddler learning to walk. Fortunately, the airbags deployed, and the driver walked away unscathed—though the telephone pole did not share his luck. It took some time, but crews eventually lifted the fallen pole, restoring access to the bar (so the real damage—lost happy hour deals—was minimal).

Then, as if one white pickup calamity wasn’t enough, a second white truck, this time an F-150, decided to join the rebellion just two hours later. This one took a more ambitious approach, skipping street poles and heading straight for a building at Pecos St and N. Garrett St. The driver told police he was merely attempting a right turn but accidentally hit the gas a little too hard. Apparently, his truck took that as a personal challenge, veered off course, and planted itself firmly into the side of the building. Police were last seen searching for the building’s owner, presumably to deliver the classic “So, funny story…” speech.

Despite the dramatic destruction, no serious injuries were reported. And no, these crashes are not connected—unless, of course, there’s a secret white pickup truck uprising we don’t know about. If you own a white pickup, especially if it's a Ford or a Chevy, you may want to keep a close eye on it. You never know when it might decide to go rogue.
