(UPI) – One unlucky driver in suddenly ended up in the middle of a real-life James Bond movie when a mountainside in China’s southwestern Sichuan province gave way, causing rocks and debris to spill onto the roadway, leaving the imperiled car no choice but to outrun the carnage.
The landslide, which occurred on July 5, sent plumes of smoke and piles of small debris and mud careening down towards China’s Wenchuan-Maerkang Highway – and the car driving on it.
The massive rockfall, which appears to have begun high up on the mountainside, nearly crushed the car, with the driver barely making it out of a mountain tunnel before the debris caught up with the vehicle.
