Harrowing storm chase
Dramatic video catches unreal wreck

Truck flipping during severe storm

Last week's major tornado outbreak was a bit harrowing for one storm chaser and a semi-truck drivers near Dwight, Neb.

With a supercell thunderstorm in the distance that would produce a tornado, storm chaser Benjamin Ahrens had to take evasive action as high winds and a wet road caused an oncoming truck to flip. Watch the video to see the harrowing drive.

Only minor injuries were reported in this accident, but the two-day heartland outbreak devastated several Oklahoma and Nebraska towns, killing at least 5 people and injuring hundreds more.
