A man from Arizona reportedly survived after a giant rock slid down a mountain and landed on him.

The 27-year-old man, who is being treated at a hospital for injuries to his legs and pelvis, was with other workers removing a boulder from a Flagstaff road when a room-size boulder slid down onto a mountain road and landed on him, the New York Post reported.

The Coconino County Sheriff's Office said that the Phoenix man was hospitalized after being hit by the 30-ton rock while trying to go to the top of Mount Elden with four other people near Flagstaff, to work on a radio tower.
