QCOSTARICA – A huge falling rock that narrowly reached the road gave a handful of drivers on Ruta 27 a big scare on Sunday.
In the video published by the account “Accidentes de Costa Rica”, we can see how the rock and other materials fall out of control.
The incident occurred at kilometer 44, at the point where repairs are being made to stabilize the slopes.
