A powerful dust storm swept through California’s Madera County on Monday afternoon along State Route 152, causing a car pileup as several vehicles collided due to severely reduced visibility.
Approximately 20 cars were involved in the pileup, according to the California Highway Patrol. Several people sustained minor injuries and were taken to the hospital.
“It was terrifying, it was just terrifying. We got hit, we thought we were okay, then we got hit again, and again. We just thought it wasn’t going to end. I really thought we were going to die. I’m really thankful we’re okay,” said Delissa Fulce, one of the drivers stranded on the highway.
The storm reportedly downed several fences and trees as it swept through the region.
