BOISE, Idaho — Over the weekend, a boulder the size of a large boulder was removed after officials were forced to shut down the road due to the size of the boulder. No "Wile E. Coyotes" or drivers were injured.
Officials with the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) want to remind drivers in this Gem of a state not to take the highway for granite.
ITD said on social media that the boulder fell Sunday night, closing State Highway 21. In the morning, officials worked to remove the rock and patch the road to reopen it.
Officials wanted to remind drivers to be always prepared for the unexpected and check the 511 for road conditions before embarking on a new adventure.
Oh, and if the headline on this story made you laugh, it's an homage to this classic viral Tweet from 2020 from the San Miguel County Sheriff's Office in Colorado:
