A Utah woman escaped with minor injuries after a giant boulder rolled down a hill and smashed into her bedroom in the middle of the night. The 12 foot by nine foot boulder crashed through the wall of Wanda Denhalter, 63, at 3am hitting her and moving her bed around four feet. Denhalter avoided more serious injuries as she rolled away from the wall when she heard the boulder approaching. Following the incident, the injured Denhalter managed to call 911 for help and was taken to hospital for treatment to a broken jaw, fractured sternum and gashes to her legs. What caused the boulder to roll down the ridge is unclear, but reports said that water leaking from homes up on the ridge may have caused the boulder to come loose.
