Caltrans posted this photo of the snack truck while it was close to the river.
Buddy’s Auto Center towing managed to bring the truck back with what they described as “very minimal environmental impact.” A Buddy’s driver who helped with the recovery shared a photo of the scene with us and said permission was given by both Frito Lay and Buddy’s to post it.
The driver escaped with minor injuries from the crash, which happened around 12:14 p.m. on August 26. The truck’s recovery stretched over several days.

I’m still amazed the driver escaped with a few bumps and bruises! That was a hack
Always buckle up when the chips are down!
Everybody chipped in!
Thank you to Buddy’s Auto Center Towing for getting that eyesore out of the rocks by the river. I am very glad the driver is fine.
Buddy’s had lots of experience with Trinity River recoveries. I think he got his start in Willow Creek in the 1960s, possibly the 1950s. No day is a typical day at the office for these folks.
Yuh, show those Canadians how to DO it! Seriously, great work and glad the driver made it.
Lookout….!!! The potato chip delivery driver took his “eyes” off the road…
Thanks for the scoop .
