CEDAR CITY — A rock slide in Cedar Canyon on Saturday afternoon sent a large boulder crashing into a vehicle, but its occupants escaped serious injury.
The incident, which reportedly occurred shortly before 3:30 p.m., caused state Route 14 to be closed in both directions for about 90 minutes while the roadway was cleared.
It happened between mile markers 8 and 9, the site of numerous other rock slides over the years.
Eyewitness Jordan Armga told Cedar City News that a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck took the brunt of the damage from the initial rockfall.
