Almost nothing could be saved.

Apparently small white car ran into a truck, pushing it into a tent selling teddy bears, flowers and other Valentine's Day gifts.

"The truck just lost control, barreling into the area here," one worker said.

Then the truck caught fire under the tent, spreading it through the stand.

Both drivers and two people inside the tent were transported to the hospital for their injuries.

Relatives stopped by help clean up, but most of what was there wasn't salvageable.
