INFO FROM SHERIFF TYSON HUNTINGTON:

Be happy you were not traveling on east bound I-70 through Spotted Wolf near mile post 145 during the early morning hours of Thursday this week. This behemoth of a boulder landed on the road creating a bit of a traffic hazard. UHP Trooper Dakota Adams is standing next to the rock and ECSO Sergeant Wade Ryan is taking the picture - - you can see Wade's shadow on the rock.

Thank you to UDOT for promptly clearing the road. Stay safe out there!
