Tanker truck falls through ceiling of parking garage
A tanker truck fell through the ceiling of a flooded parking garage in west Houston on Friday afternoon.

HOUSTON -- A hole on the ceiling of a parking garage has nearly completely swallowed a tanker truck on Houston's west side. It's on Town and Country Boulevard near I-10.

The lower level of the parking garage appears to have been filled with water in the recent flooding. The back end of the truck fell into a hole on the upper level.

No injuries have been reported.

According to a sign visible near the truck, the upper level of the garage is not rated to support vehicles over 4,400 pounds, which is about the weight of a full-size sedan.
