LOS ANGELES — A massive boulder that crashed down onto a California road, blocking traffic for hours as it garnered a healthy internet following, was blasted to pieces Friday. The hulking great rock stopped traffic around Lake Tahoe after it tumbled onto the highway on Thursday evening. ADVERTISEMENTCalifornia’s Department of Transport (Caltrans) swung into action, with crews dwarfed by the obstacle they had been sent to shift. Footage shows the boulder fragmenting in a cloud of dust and smoke before heavy earth-moving machines ultimately began carting the debris away. “@CalTransDist3 wants to ensure the public no roadrunners or coyotes were injured & Wile E. Coyote was not responsible for this boulder falling onto the highway.
