VIDEO DESCRIPTION

Severe-warned storms swept across southern IL early Monday afternoon bringing heavy rain and wind. Storms that moved across Union County lead to nearly an inch of rain falling in places within 45 minutes and lead to a hydroplaning accident along I-57.

Video package includes scenes of vehicle in median in addition to the car being pulled out by a tow truck driver who just happened upon the scene. The Mississippi man was southbound back to MS and spun 1-and-a-half times when heavy rains caused him to lose control of the truck. He came to rest facing the southbound lanes and was not injured, just shaken up.

While examining his truck, a tow driver pulled on to the scene and latched up his tow truck to the vehicle and pulled him out. Afterwards, the Miss. man was insistent on trying to give the truck driver something for helping him, but the tow truck driver was equally as insistent on not taking payment and was just happy he could help the man.

Examination of the truck showed the exhaust pipe was bent around under the vehicle, but was still drivable. Upon recommendation from the two truck driver, the man took his truck to the Anna exit only a couple miles down to have a nearby body shop cut off the bent pipe so he could continue his trip home to Mississippi.
