A truck driver describes a frightening storm-related accident Thursday night in McKinney.

McKinney, Texas. On Thursday night, a swath of storms that swept through North Texas caught at least four semi-trailer drivers in a very dangerous situation, knocking them off their feet. Three were in the southbound lanes and one in the northbound lanes on I-75 between Loud Howell Pkwee and Bloomdale Road.

But the northbound driver had the narrowest escape route.

“She was talking about the wind and was scared, nervous, which is understandable,” said truck driver Mark Martin, who identified himself as the fiancé of fellow truck driver June Davis. He said he was on the phone with her when the accident happened.

“She was driving from Irving to the Love’s Truck stop, about four miles down the road,” Martin said. “And suddenly she started saying that the power lines were down, and then she screamed, and I heard all the sounds of a rumble, and then the phone went off.”

“What were you thinking at that moment,” Kevin Rees of the WFAA asked him.

“Not the best,” Martin replied.

The semi-trailer stopped on its right side on the guardrail on the right shoulder of I-75. The railing penetrated the cab of the truck, crushing everything in the cab except for the driver’s seat.

But Martin contacted the WFAA because she survived. Davis suffered minor injuries and spent the night in the hospital. Martin wanted to thank the rescuers who pulled Davis out of the wreckage by lifting her right through the driver’s side door.

“She was sort of hidden in a very broken part of the cockpit,” said McKinney firefighter and paramedic Nicholas Driver, who was part of a team of four firefighters and two McKinney police officers who helped pull Davis out of the wreckage. “We were very surprised that she was all right and that she was talking to us. I was very excited to see that she was all right.”

Davis, who lost her phone in the wreckage Thursday night, is now resting at a hotel in the McKinney area while waiting for Martin to make the 700-mile trip to Texas to pick her up.

“The Lord had a hand in her,” he said when asked what he thought of her miraculous rescue. “That’s exactly what it was. Because when I saw the picture where the railing was on the truck, if I had seen it before I heard her voice, I would have thought she was dead.”

Luckily, it’s a long-awaited story that survived a frightening night on a windy highway in north Texas.

Drivers of three other semi-trailers that overturned in the southern lanes also escaped with minor injuries.
