EMERY COUNTY, Utah — The Emery County Sheriff's Office says that drivers should be thankful that they weren't on I-70 following some large boulders creating a traffic hazard early Thursday morning.

The sheriff's office says the boulders fell on the roadway of eastbound I-70 through Spotted Wolf. A photo shared by the sheriff's office shows Trooper Dakota Adams standing next to the rock that is towering over him.
