A Park County Sheriff's deputy narrowly escaped serious injuries when a semi truck was blown over on top of the deputy's patrol vehicle.
It happened near mile marker 350 along I-90 westbound.
The deputy, along with Park County Rural Fire personnel, was responding to a tipped semi in the vicinity.
While they were at the scene, a different semi was blown over by the powerful winds, landing on top of the patrol vehicle.
The deputy was inside the vehicle at the time, but sustained only minor injuries.
There are no reports of the truck driver being injured.
Strong winds have been raking much of Montana throughout the day, with gusts in the Livingston region topping 75 miles per hour.
Anthony Toeckes sent in this photo of his camper that was parked in his driveway between Great Falls and Belt. It was toppled over by wind gusts over 70 mph.
Judith Basin County Sheriff's Office has been dealing with several blow-overs of campers and semis near Windham and Stanford. This is where winds have been gusting to nearly 80 mph.
These damaging wind gusts will continue for the next several hours, but a cold front will push south across the area later on this evening putting an end to the high winds.
