2/14/2006: Massive rock crushes car

Well, that's gotta hurt. From the French news item, Un automobiliste est sorti miraculeusement indemne jeudi soir de sa voiture qui venait d'être écrasée par un rocher de plusieurs tonnes tombé de la montagne près de Breil-sur-Roya (Alpes-Maritimes), un éboulement qui a entraîné la suspension des liaisons ferroviaires, a-t-on appris auprès des pompiers vendredi.

In other words, this massive, several-ton rock fell from a mountain in the Maritime Alps. The loss of the rock led to the suspension of the rail links, but somehow the motorist in this vehicle survived unscathed. (I think they're saying the motorist was in the car when the rock hit.)
