In a wild moment captured on camera, a massive big rig was engulfed by the powerful force of floodwaters on a freeway in Livingston, Texas. Posted recently by @SamicaKnight13, the video at the bottom of this article chronicles this harrowing debacle.

As the footage begins, we see an 18-wheeled semi-trailer truck barreling into a flooded portion of the highway. The truck immediately starts floating like it were a boat.

Get Out of There!

The camera zooms in to reveal the driver trying to escape out the window after the onlookers began yelling for him to try to escape. He manages to get out and get up to the relative safety of the hood of his truck.

The big rig is slowly spinning around in the water. We get one last glance at the driver, and then a Toyota Tundra drives by and blocks our view.


Once it passes, we can no longer see the driver due to the cab spinning.
