Boulder Smashes Car on Alaska Highway

Monday afternoon, a massive boulder broke free above Milepost A-C-O-14 on the Seward Highway in Alaska and smashed right into a moving car. It blew out the windshield completely, but the driver walked away without serious injuries, just shaken out from the close call. That stretch of road is under a seasonal alert for falling ice and rocks, so traffic was already slowed down. Witnesses Kelby Dylan and his dad spotted a dust cloud from the cliff first, then saw big boulders tumbling toward northbound lanes. They pulled over quick after seeing the hit, checked on the driver through the shattered glass and helped her out of the car. She was scared and shaking, but had no cuts or blood, just glass everywhere inside, from the impact that also knocked the rearview mirror loose. Dylan even drove her car off the road to clear the path, while other drivers kicked and rolled rocks away, including one lodged under the vehicle. The slow speeds in that hazard zone likely prevented worse damage. Stuff like this shows
