Some funny goings on down in San Jose involving a big rig hitting a restaurant. It was a Vietnamese restaurant on Story Road. At about 1 am on Thursday morning, a big rig swerved to avoid a Mercedes and hit the restaurant. No major injuries were reported but what was funny was the owner.

A structural engineer came out to survey the scene and concluded that the building would not collapse. Upon hearing that, the owner was reportedly adamant on opening for business that morning. Apparently, he did not mind that one side of his restaurant was literally gone with a cement truck occupying most of the eating area. People have to eat you know. True, and on the bright side, people eating could see the kitchen and the street. It took a lot of talking from San Jose police on scene to convince him to at least close for the day.
