Dramatic footage has emerged from the US of a storm chaser crashing into a fallen tree at night, while 'chasing' Hurricane Hermine in Florida.

The video, filmed late last Friday, shows Joseph Pisani driving on I-10, when suddenly a tree comes out of no where.

He hits the tree and swerves to the otherside of the freeway but, fortunately, although he was shaken he was unhurt.

Mr Pisani had driven down from his home in Atlanta, Georgia to chase the hurricane and document its impacts across Florida and south Georgia.
