Early morning travelers woke up to a rockslide that happened overnight.
CHP shared images of debris covering parts of the four lanes of Highway 168, creating a highly dangerous situation for drivers.
A 4×4 truck traveling downhill hit the rocks, damaging the suspension.
Minutes later, a Honda CR-V also struck the rocks and rolled over. The driver was seriously injured.
Unfortunately, there was little to no opportunity for the drivers to avoid the rocks in the roadway because conditions were dark and there was a curve in the roadway.
