>> hicks has never ridden in the washoe valley before, but police officer john jesse knows in these parts when the wind picks up, it can be a doozy. >> you can't go through the valley and you don't want go through washoe valley when the wind's that high. >> officer jesse sees hicks pass by and races to pull him over. there's an advisory that day prohibiting high-profile vehicles from being on the road, but hicks doesn't see it. he's approaching the windy valley and immediately feels wind between 60 and 80 miles an hour. he tries to slow his truck down, but it's too late. >> the first inkling in my mind was when the truck got quiet, once it came up on two wheels, there was no noise anymore. i looked in my mirror and that the wheels were off the ground and panic struck. in an instant, i tried to think of what to do, what can i do? >> he tries desperately to countersteer the truck and straighten it out, but he's outmaneuvered by the wind.
