A transport truck travelling on a busy B.C. highway was blown over during a vigorous storm on Monday.
Environment Canada issued a wind warning on Nov. 4 calling for very strong northwest winds with gusts of up to 100 km/h.
Just before 1 p.m. that day, Alice Devisser was driving her children home from school on Highway 1 in Chilliwack.
The left lane was blocked just before Annis Road.
"When I saw how close it was to the Annis Road exit, my 12-year-old son checked our camera footage on my phone and realized we could see the entire thing happen,” says Devisser.
Video taken from their property shows the moment the transport truck blows over in front of another vehicle and rolls into a grass area between the lanes on the highway.
"It's shocking watching it back,” she says. “You just hope and pray no one's hurt and thankful no other vehicles were hit by the semi."
BC Emergency Health Services was notified at 12:53 p.m. about the incident and two ambulances with primary care paramedics responded to the scene.
No one required treatment or hospital transport.
BC Highway Patrol investigated the incident.
