An Ontario man survived with minor injuries after his truck was thrown more than 20 meters from the roadway during a tornado in eastern Ontario.
Among the scenes of devastation caused by the EF-1 tornado that touched down in eastern Ontario on Sunday was the image of a white truck on its side.
Brandon Albert says his truck was thrown from Highway 7 into this field near Actinolite, Ont. on July 25, 2022 as a tornado passed through the area. “That truck you just saw in your newsreel was my grandson,” Albert told chief anchor Graham Richardson. “So yeah, it’s been an awful day and an awful night.”
“I was definitely thrown through the air. I was probably about 80 or so feet off the road,” he explained. “The person I know who was behind me said my truck definitely hit the power lines. I was as high as the lines.”“It happened very fast, obviously, and I would have never guessed my full-size truck would have got thrown off the road, but it definitely did,” he said.Albert says he believes it was stronger than that.
