The 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit Taiwan on Wednesday had also triggered rockslides in the nation that sent boulders crashing against drivers.

Shocking dashcam footage shows the moment one driver receives the alarm warning civilians of the massive earthquake, and as the car shakes, the vehicles on the mountainous road come to a halt.

The leading vehicle, however, starts suddenly backing up, revealing a rockslide coming down the road.

As the vehicle recording the incident backs up as well, a bolder comes flying out of the trees and smashes against the leading car, crushing it as it continues to descend the mountain road.

The footage shows several cars on the road backing up or trying to drive through the roads as they weave past the rocks, with two vehicles seeing boulders land just inches away from them.

The boulders could be seen hitting the road with such force that they bounced several feet into the air, with a wide shot of the mountain revealing a large dust cloud kicked up by the rockslide.

Taiwanese authorities estimate that at least nine people were killed in the earthquake that struck the nation’s eastern half, with more than 1,000 others injured as of Thursday.

Another 646 people are trapped in hotels due to the destroyed roads as rescue workers rush to free the civilians, according to the Hualien County fire department.

The 7.2 magnitude earthquake was the strongest in 25 years, hitting during the nation’s morning commuting hours and centered on rural Hualien.

Hundreds of aftershocks were still felt hours after the initial earthquake, with at least one reaching a magnitude of 6.5.
