VIDEO: Trucker makes an insane save after wind nearly topples truck

A YouTuber was filming on an Illinois highway the moment that a trucker battled a fierce wind gust — and won.

The video was captured on November 15 in Dwight, Illinois, by YouTube user Isaac Telford, who wrote: “I was on my way to a food drive I was hosting when suddenly I realized the semi in front of me was struggling to stay on the road. I grabbed my camera and had it ready and then suddenly it lifted into the air and turned sideways. I thought for sure the truck was going to flip but somehow it didn’t. I went to check on the driver and he was in high spirits actually laughing about it. I sent him the video later that night and made him the most famous trucker in the world.”
