A Los Angeles man speaks after his car was completely crushed by a giant rock in Malibu

A driver who is nearly crushed after a giant rock fell on his car in Malibu, California, says he feels lucky to be alive after the terrifying incident.

Mauricio Henao’s Honda was parked along a hill in the 20000 block of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu Tuesday when inclement weather caused a four-foot boulder to slide down the mountain and onto his car.

Henao said he was sitting in the driver’s seat moments before the rocks fell when he received a phone call asking him to drive home.

Inside, he said he “only heard loud crashes,” before running outside to see his crushed car.

The dangerous rock slide comes after massive storms hit Southern California, causing massive flooding and roadway hazards.

The rock slid down the hill toward the man’s sedan just above the windshield, completely rupturing the interior of the car.

“The rock is the size of the entire hood,” Henao said in an interview with KTLA. “The windshields are all broken and the frame of the car is crooked.”

The vehicle owner said he was sitting inside his parked vehicle and preparing to drive away when the hill began to slide.

He said the phone call came at the best possible time and could have saved his life.

“My girlfriend called me and said, ‘Hey, can you bring my bag that I left there,’ so I went back inside and heard a noise outside,” Henao told ABC 7.

When he got out again, he found the devastation he had just narrowly avoided.

The debris, which included mud, rocks and boulders, was scattered across four lanes of traffic on the infamous roadway.

Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, but several vehicles in the area were damaged or destroyed.

“A bunch of rocks fell, but they came from here and they came across the street,” Nick Kennedy, a resident whose SUV was damaged while parked in his driveway, told the Los Angeles news station.

I’m kind of glad my car was there. I do not know if [the rocks] I would have gone through the wall of the house and nailed myself because my desk is right on the other side of that wall,” Kennedy continued.

Another vehicle in the same neighborhood suffered a broken windshield in the event.

The dangerous rock slide comes after a major overnight storm hit southern California, causing massive flooding and road hazards.

Although Henao was glad to escape unscathed and took a selfie with the vehicle.

Despite the smiling photo, the owner of the vehicle said the incident left him ‘traumatized’.

“I’m pretty shocked,” Henao said. ‘Honestly, I don’t think I’ll park here again after this. I’m a little traumatized by all this ordeal.

Henao told ABC 7 that he feels lucky to be alive, saying: “I feel like I should play the lottery.”

The Malibu event is just one of countless in the Los Angeles area and state.

Another Malibu highway was blocked after a ‘big rock’ fell on Malibu Canyon Road, completely cutting off traffic flow in the area.

The massive storm, caused by a series of atmospheric rivers, has killed 17 people across the state.

A mother and daughter were rescued from a sinkhole in Chatsworth, a Los Angeles neighborhood, after their vehicle fell into the hole when the road buckled under them due to heavy rain.
