Through social networks, a video began to go viral showing exactly how two trucks were driving on the highway, when suddenly several large rocks were seen falling. Fortunately, there was no greater presence of motorists, otherwise the consequences would have been regrettable.
The body of one of the cars was completely damaged, but one of the drivers managed to escape from his car before more rocks fell and the event ended in something fatal.
Although fortunately there were no fatalities, the images captured by the camera of one of the vehicles are shocking. pic.twitter.com/oV4mTsToru
