A three-ton lorry was blown over after being parked up on a main road.

The horror moment was captured on the dashcam of another vehicle.

Incredibly the panel-sided removal truck was hit by a powerful gust, which brought it down.

Luckily the driver, sensing the risk, had parked it up safely on the A30 at Blackwater near Truro, Cornwall.

Its occupants then moved to another vehicle and watched as the truck went crashing over.

It belonged to West Cornwall Removals, which managed to recover it a few days later.

More footage showed the vehicle being hoisted back onto four wheels from its stranded position.

Passing motorists tooted their horns in support.

Viv Wells, from the removals firm, said around £5,000 worth of damage had been done to the van after the accident on Friday (9 Jan).

“The driver got out when it started to tilt over,” he told Need To Know.

“There was another one of our vehicles behind it, so they got in that.

“They then watched as the stationary van was blown over.

“We’ve done removals in the Arctic and never had a van blown over before.

“So it was a first for us. But we’ll take a look at it and patch it up ourselves.”
