㽶ƵֱSasquatch Egg㽶Ƶֱ boulder crashes onto Highway 7 near Harrison Mills

A few cars were damaged running through the hole left by the boulder

A six-foot boulder barreling down the mountain was a rude awakening for motorists in the Harrison Mills area on Wednesday (Oct. 27) morning.

Witness Russell Purcell posted a picture of the massive rock just off the Lougheed Highway west of the Sasquatch Inn. He called it a 㽶ƵֱSasquatch Egg㽶Ƶֱ

㽶ƵֱLuckily, no vehicles or people were flattened,㽶Ƶֱ Purcell wrote in a Facebook post. 㽶ƵֱAt least they filled the hole.㽶Ƶֱ

The boulder left a three-foot-wide hole in the road before it came to rest just off the shoulder. While some vehicles were able to avoid the hole before it was filled, others were not so lucky, like Corin Hamilton.

㽶ƵֱMy poor Ford Fusion,㽶Ƶֱ she said. 㽶ƵֱNot really built to deep dive into a crater.㽶Ƶֱ

Kim Price drove straight into the hole that morning; it was still dark and raining at that time.

㽶ƵֱI noticed this big thing on the left, then bam! Right over the boulder dent,㽶Ƶֱ she wrote on Facebook. 㽶ƵֱGood thing I was in my truck. I don㽶Ƶֱt think my car could㽶Ƶֱve weathered that. I couldn㽶Ƶֱt believe it.㽶Ƶֱ

While the boulder likely tumbled on its own accord, Brandi Mae Lane suggested a more hair-raising possibility.

㽶ƵֱI think Sasquatch hucked that boulder down from up on the cliff above!㽶Ƶֱ she said.

㽶ƵֱI heard that they are very upset about the lasst election results,㽶Ƶֱ Chris Lepine joked.
