Dashcam footage captured the moment a landslide buried a vehicle on a highway in southern Turkey on Saturday, March 21.

The incident occurred on the Mersin–Antalya road in the Aydincik district, when soil and rocks suddenly cascaded from a hillside onto the road.

Footage shows debris from the side of the cliff engulfing a moving car in a matter of seconds.

The 44‑year‑old driver sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment, according to local authorities.
