An Arizona man was among three storm chasers killed on their way to cover tornadoes tearing through west Texas.

Highway patrol investigators said 25-five year old Corbin Jaeger of Peoria was riding as a passenger with a fellow storm chaser when their Jeep was fatally struck by an SUV driver who was also a storm chaser.

It happened Tuesday along a remote intersection southeast of Lubbock.

The trio was on their way to capture footage for The Weather Channel.

The National Weather Service reported at least three tornadoes in the powerful storm with wind gusts reaching 95 mph.
