Bus shakes, driver keeps going


A bus with a driver and passenger on board narrowly escaped being crushed by a massive rockfall that crashed onto the Sea to Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler just before midnight Tuesday night.


Road crews in the area told CBC News they expected the highway would be closed for at least two days because blasting would likely be required to clear the massive rocks, some the size of trucks and small houses.
