A semi-truck driver took to social media on April 9, to report falling rocks from Highway 1 onto the roadway.<\/p>\n
A large rock fell from the mountainside in the Three Valley Gap area and came crashing down onto the front grille of the truck.<\/p>\n
It was a close call for the driver as the rock smashed through the grille just missing the cab of the truck.<\/p>\n
Debris scattered the Trans-Canada following the incident, that appeared to happen in dark and wet conditions. It’s unclear if the truck had to be towed from the area.<\/p>\n
However, the driver posted their photos to Skilled Truckers Canada on Facebook as a warning to others coming through Three Valley Gap to watch for falling rocks.<\/p>\n
