A driver managed to escape being seriously injured when a natural avalanche partially buried his car near Revelstoke on Sunday.
B.C. says there was a small natural avalanche 46 km east of the community at about 1:00 p.m. MST that ended up closing the Trans-Canada Highway in both directions.
The slide did involve one driver, but luckily his vehicle was not buried and he was able to get out of his vehicle safely.
No one was injured in the incident.
According to a spokesperson from the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, warming temperatures likely caused the avalanche.
