Video shows wind gust toppling a big rig on a California interstate

Video captured over the weekend shows the moment that high winds blew over a big rig on a California interstate.

The video was captured on a Tesla’s dash cam on February 4 on I-5 in Sacramento, California.

In the dash cam clip, you can see a semi truck traveling slowly in the left lane with its hazard lights flashing. As a gust of wind begins to topple the truck, a car in the left lane zooms out of the way to avoid being crushed. The semi comes to a stop blocking all lanes of traffic.

As the video continues, you can see the dash cammer park his vehicle and get out to check on the truck driver.
