IHA — Dust devils are nasty, raise dust and debris into the air and irritate people's eyes and respiration, but a Turkish driver has found a way to abruptly end one.

This footage captured in southern Turkey's Hatay province shows a truck driver moving through a dust devil, effectively killing it.

The footage of the incident that took place in the Hassa district quickly went viral in Turkish social media circles as "the truck driver who defies a cyclone."
