Storm Chaser captures semi truck being manhandled by strong winds

Several trucks were blown over in the exact same spot last month.

Vicious high winds vanquish a semi truck

A storm chaser in Texas captured dramatic footage of a semi truck that succumbed to high wind gusts.

The video was captured on Wednesday, April 10, in Amarillo, Texas by storm chaser Blake Brown.

In the video, you can see high winds lift the truck’s trailer tires and then completely overturn the semi truck.

After the crash, bystanders rush to the truck drivers’s assistance.

Brown says that the truck driver suffered only cuts and bruises from the crash.

A similar high wind event occurred in the same location in Amarillo on March 13. Brown says that the area is particularly dangerous for truckers because high winds are funneled between two grain elevators, which concentrates their power.
