Driver Escapes Being Crushed By Giant Boulder
A driver in Taiwan has had a lucky escape after a huge boulder crashed down a mountainside missing his car by a few feet.
The heart-stopping moment was caught on a camera mounted to the dashboard of a vehicle following a few metres behind.
The video shows the car in front come to a sudden stop as the mountainside appears to explode before a boulder the size of a small house tumbles into the road beside the car.

Thats crazy. Here is the Google Streetview location. It looks like it just missed a landslide barrier, visible in the background. I would guess that they are going to be extending the barrier now.
