"The wall of dust and dirt and debris hit them. They slowed down to probably under 5 miles per hours because of the almost zero visibility from the blowing debris and a chunk of wood came through the window of the car," the sheriff said, noting that storm debris had restricted first responders' access to the seen.

Nearby residents used heavy machinery to help clear the roadways, he said.
