Boulder crashes through wall of hillside home

PROVO, Utah (AP) -- Neighbors say a large boulder tumbled down a hillside and bounced through the wall of a house in Utah before crashing through the floor into a basement-level garage.

PROVO, Utah (AP) -- Neighbors say a large boulder tumbled down a hillside and bounced through the wall of a house in Utah before crashing through the floor into a basement-level garage.

Provo fire Battalion Chief Jeremy Craft said Saturday the four-story home is for sale and was empty at the time.

Neighbor Dave Nagel says he was working in his yard when he heard a rumbling sound. He looked up to see the rock bounding down the hillside.

Nagel says he watched as the boulder bounced and went airborne. It then crashed through a wall of the house and struck the dining room ceiling before smashing into another wall and dropping through the floor. It came to rest in the garage.

Nagel says the jagged boulder appeared to be about 10 feet wide.
