The slide blocked the travel lane and part of the passing lane. Crews responded and set up signs keeping the road open to one lane.
Nobody was injured during the incident.
“We were going by northbound and saw it let go,” Janis Carrier, who witnessed the slide wrote. “Immediately called VSP. Very glad we were on the other side of the interstate and that no cars were present when that ledge let go. It was a big cloud of smoke through the air.”
Rockslides can be some of the most dangerous forms of deformation because of the way that large rocks are traveling quickly down slope; this large material can cause massive damage to anything in its path.
