Trucker’s white-knuckle battle with powerful wind gusts caught on video in Iowa

A news outlet captured stunning video of a semi truck battered off the road by violent wind gusts.

The video was captured on Tuesday near Mallard, Iowa.

In the video clip, you can see that a gust of wind blows a truck’s trailer off the roadway. As this action threatens to tip the truck over, the driver appears to be able to keep enough control of the vehicle to keep it upright, jackknifing instead of rolling over.
