Posted recently by @SamicaKnight13, the video at the bottom of this article chronicles this harrowing debacle.

Dangerously High Waters

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 was 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.

Toyota Should Use This as a Commercial

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.
