Dump truck crashes into video arcade in SF
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 08/23/05 | Stacy Finz

The back of a dump truck delivering 20 tons of dirt to businesses on Sixth Street in San Francisco tipped and crashed into an adult video arcade this morning, narrowly missing three patrons.

"It was close," said a video clerk at the Liberty Bookstore, who identified himself as Jersey Dog. "One guy was near the inside of the wall, but no one was hurt."

The incident happened at 9:10 a.m. when Sukhdev Singh of Economy Trucking was dumping dirt to be used to fill in several businesses' sub-basements on the 100 block of Sixth Street, said Sheri Costa, a spokeswoman for the city Department of Public Works.

The back of the truck tipped over to the side and into the wall of the store, shattering windows and dumping dirt into the part of the store that houses booths for video peep shows.

Who said it was porn? We have adult video arcades here (Dave and Busters) that just have really cool, expensive games. Games you don't want the 9 year olds trashing.

Point well taken, but I don't think "video peep shows" are a highlight of Dave and Busters ...

Reports claim that the sticky floor made the truck stop.

Agreed. If you've found yourself in the booth of an adult arcade at 9:10 a.m. on a weekday, it's got to be particularly urgent.

Pics from the first moments of the accident would be priceless.

Indeed! And one might find one's self a bear to live with if one is interrupted and can't finish .... um, meditating.

I suspect the dump truck driver wasn't the only one losing his load.

Why are they wasting perfectly good sub-basements?
That smacks of anti-homeless bias.

The city should make them put in grocery cart ramps instead, and use those spaces to house the disenfranchised....

True, very true. Missed the 'video peep show' part. ;o)
