LEAVENWORTH, Wash. — Four people, including a 12-year-old, are recovering after a boulder crashed into their SUV while they were driving on Highway 2 on Tuesday.
According to Washington State Patrol Trooper Jeremy Weber, the SUV was heading west, about three miles outside of Leavenworth, when a boulder “the size of a small car” hit them from the right side of the road.
A 12-year-old had a few cuts that needed stitches, but it appears everyone inside was relatively unharmed, Weber told KIRO 7.
The SUV was totaled.
The area was shut down for a while while crews cleared the roadway.
Staff at Direct Towing, who removed the vehicle from the highway, took video showing the extent of the damage.
