Only in Houston...

KHOU-11 reports on an unusual crash that took place early Friday morning:

The West Loop southbound was shut down for about two hours overnight after two crashes involving a mobile taco stand and a fire truck, respectively.

It happened around 1 a.m. near San Felipe.

Police say a pickup truck was moving fast down 610 when he smashed into the back end of a slower-moving truck pulling a taco stand.

The pickup actually went all the way inside the stand.

While HFD was at the scene blocking the lanes, and SUV smashed into the back of the fire truck.

The episode is quintessentially Houston, is it not?
