That's a repost, but the original post might have been lost in the hack. There is actually more pictures, showing the boulder being removed.

There was no one inside. The gal that drove the yaris there was at the post office when the unfortunate happened to the yaris. Of course consumer reports would give the yaris poor marks for giant boulder defense.

Don't remember, just remember the graphic pictures. Will see what I can find.

*EDIT* Found an article, but missing the other pics http://www.toyotawrecks.com/2010/07/...ashed-by-rock/

Toyota Yaris Squashed By Rock!
Imagine parking your car, and when you return, this has happened! A lady parked up her car at the roadside in a village called Hayfield in Derbyshire, England and while she was away, a truck coming round the corner carrying a load of sandstone boulders weighing 8 tonnes when one slipped off and landed on the car.

A local was quoted as saying ” “The driver said he looked in his mirror and saw the rock slipping but it was on the car before he could do anything. If anyone had been in it, they would not have stood a chance.”
Here is the original post on yarisworld (so yes, repost) http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27086
