TIPTON, Oklahoma - TORNADO ALLEY: Ride along with storm chasers   bitly link: http://bit.ly/rIsh8V

A storm chaser got into an accident chasing a funnel cloud in Oklahoma.

The driver was following a possible twister in Tipton when the car flipped over.

You can hear the glass from the windshield breaking.

The accident was apparently due to mechanical failure.

The driver says he was trying to back up when the steering jammed and caused him to slide sideways into a ditch and flip over.

At least two possible tornadoes were spotted in Tillman County.
