«Breaking News» Shocking moment avalanche barrels down mountain and covers Colorado highway

A Colorado motorist caught the dramatic moment when an avalanche rolled off a mountain and over the highway ahead of him. 

Jacob Easton and his father were driving along Colorado's Interstate 70, between Frisco and Copper Mountain, Sunday when they suddenly spotted a 'big white cloud' of snow up ahead of them, Easton told KDVR. 

Easton said he started recording a video of the avalanche about two miles before Copper Mountain. 

In the video, which Easton posted on Instagram, the avalanche can clearly be seen, gaining speed, on the left as they're driving.

The rapidly approaching avalanche came off the mountain and hit the highway ahead of them

'Holy s**!' one of the two men exclaims. 'That's not going to come down here is it?' 

'No, it is that is,' the other says. 

When the avalanche is almost at the road, the pair pull the car over to the shoulder. As the cloud of snow appears to completely cover the car ahead of them, they slowly reverse their own car to get to safety. 

'Oh my god,' one of the men says. 'That was freakin' nuts!'

The video ends with snow dusting the car's entire windshield. 

Despite what it may have seemed like in the video, Easton told KDVR that their care was not trapped and that the experience was 'exciting, but pretty nerve wracking, because you don’t know when it’s going to stop.'

Easton's video showed the moment when the natural avalanche hit the highway 

The cloud of avalanche snow completely blotted out Easton's view and covered their car

 Although the pair speculated that the avalanche, which rolled through Ten Mile Canyon, was set in motion on purpose, a spokesperson for the Colorado Department of Transportation said that it was a natural avalanche, not a 'controlled slide.' 

The transportation agency said that the avalanche's snow did not end up impacting or burying any of the drivers on the highway. 

The highway was closed in both directions for about an hour, 9 News reported. 

The avalanche was the second one experienced in the same area on Sunday. Earlier in the day, another natural avalanche hit Interstate 70 between Silverthorne and Copper Mountain.  

Heavy snow over the weekend resulted in avalanche warnings being issued in Colorado, with crews doing avalanche control work near mountain highways during the day.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
