South Wyoming: A tractor-trailer blew over onto a Wyoming Highway Patrol car on Tuesday due to the high-speed winds in the area.
Gusts up to 90 mph were recorded around the time the truck toppled on Tuesday while headed down Interstate 80 in southern Wyoming.
A camera in another patrol car caught the crash: Wind nudges over the trailer, then the rig. The trailer falls onto a parked patrol car. The skidding truck barely misses the car filming.
Patrol Lt. David Wagener says the truck driver and a passenger weren't hurt. Troopers on the scene were away from the crash zone, helping other motorists.
He says the highway was closed to lightweight, high-profile vehicles because of the wind and the driver was cited.
