Hillside collapses onto Idaho road

— -- A moving mass of earth and trees from a hillside created quite a scene in Idaho on April 7.

Video released by the Idaho Transportation Department captured the landslide as it plowed through construction barriers and onto US Highway 95.

“This is bad,” one transportation worker can be heard saying on the video, and another person referred to hillside’s slow collapse as “insane.”

The landslide caused traffic problems in the area south of Bonners Ferry.
