Yeah, and 500' AGL scud running to avoid cloud is commonplace. The only trouble is, that doesn't give one much time to react if you just happen to drive into/under a storm cell - not that it appears from the report that there was much he could have done anyways if that is indeed what happened.
Either way: Wrong place, wrong time.
