A KFOR 4Warn Storm Team chase crew was T-boned Thursday night during Oklahoma's tornadic storms when an amateur storm chaser ran a stop sign. Photos show severe damage to storm tracker Conner Tune's truck, which was declared a total loss. Both Tune and his chasing partner Blaze Edwards were taken to the hospital but released Thursday night.

Edwards suffered a cracked sternum while Tune sustained cuts and deep bruises. The driver who hit them was described as an amateur storm chaser who reportedly blew through the stop sign. Emergency responders said all parties involved would recover from their injuries. The incident highlights the growing dangers faced by professional storm trackers as more amateur chasers crowd Oklahoma's roads during severe weather events.

Over the years, the 4Warn Storm Team has repeatedly warned about the increasing risks of storm chasing with so many people attempting to track storms. This crash serves as a stark reminder of those dangers. While the crew escaped with their lives despite the extensive vehicle damage, the incident underscores the critical need for safety protocols and responsible storm tracking practices in Oklahoma's severe weather season.
