500-ton rock almost thunders onto the road to a popular ski resort in Austria. Around 3,000 cubic meters of rock have come loose 250 meters above Wagrainer Strasse.
“No people or infrastructure were harmed,” said a statement from the state of Salzburg. According to experts, there is currently no danger and the road can remain open. A hiking trail that leads directly past the crash area had to be closed. Heavy Christmas and New Year's Eve rain washed the rocks out of the slope.
