The driver of the truck reportedly told police he did not see a sign at the entrance to the garage at Tonnelle Center prohibiting vehicles over three tons. The three-story garage is part of a mall that includes a gym and a Chuck E Cheese restaurant.

The attached video, which was posted to social media Thursday, shows the exact moment the truck dropped through the deck.
