A dramatic incident was captured on video in recent hours on the highway near Dumas, in the Panhandle region of Texas, where strong winds overturned a moving truck, causing traffic disruption for several hours.
According to reports, the accident happened at noon, when winds reached speeds of up to 70 km/h and hit the truck's trailer. The trailer lifted off the road and pulled the tractor for several meters before the entire vehicle overturned on its side. Footage posted on social media shows the trailer swaying first, then the truck completely overturning and coming to a stop on the road. The two people traveling were able to get out through the driver's window, while further details on their condition or injuries have not yet been released.
Local authorities said the incident was not isolated. On the same day, another truck overturned in the same area, while an agricultural vehicle pulling a trailer overturned, injuring the driver. It remains unclear whether the truck's load or a technical problem may have contributed to the accident, as authorities continue to investigate.
