Several injuries in the multi-vehicle heap along the Texas Highway, which is caused by extreme wind

During a large weather event in Texas, hard wind caused a massive vehicle on a motorway where several people were injured, according to a video filmmaker who recorded film material of the episodes.

The extent of the injuries – or how many people were injured – was not immediately known.

The incident occurred on Friday along Interstate 27 in the city of Canyon.

The film material from “The Storm Chasing Guy” shows the wreck when wind and dusk whip around the scene.

The wind is so loud that it can hardly be heard. He said that the winds reached up to 70 to 80 miles per hour.

Several cars, trucks, Svus and some Sattelzuger seemed to be badly damaged after widespread and harmful winds over the area.

Another video said: “Cars that drive with motorway speeds drove into a wall with a zero view that bubbles dust.”

“The video shows how low the visibility was during the accident.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the dry, gusty conditions in Texas and Oklahoma also form a serious risk of forest fires.

On Friday, the NWS warned the United States to move for a major storm eruption that will sweep the nation-with the potential to influence more than 100 million people.

The agency said the storm could release “important” tornados in the Mississippi valley and snow storms in the northern levels.

The Mayor of Canyon, Gary, hindered a disaster state for the city. In a contribution to the mayor's Facebook profile, the statement stated that the city enables “expanded measures to protect life, to support emergency care efforts and to deal with property damage”.

He also said that if necessary, the city requested state and federal support and contributes to the fact that public security and restoration efforts move quickly.

The explanation, he said, will remain up to 7 days – unless the Canyon City Commission expanded.

“This explanation is an important step to ensure that Canyon has the support and flexibility to react to the ongoing emergency conditions,” said the mayor. “Please continue to follow official updates and remain aware of the weather.”

He also asked the public to call 911 for emergencies.
