Wind causes man to fly out of truck on SEK highway

It’s been a little windy the past few days across the four states…enough so to have blown a man out of a truck just west of Parsons Tuesday.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 32-year-old Max Myers of Louisiana was riding in the back of the truck holding down a canoe while traveling along US Highway 400.

They say a large gust of wind caught the canoe, which threw Myers and the canoe off the truck, causing him to land on the shoulder of the road.

He was taken to a local hospital with “complaints of pain”
