What the National Weather Service wrote

Downburst winds from nearby thunderstorms kicked up a thick cloud of dust as it moved across plowed fields. This cloud of dust then moved across interstate 10 between Red Rock and Picacho reducing visibilities to zero at times. This resulted in 12 collisions involving about 30 vehicles. Twenty-five people were injured, but 19 were only minor.
