Noah Morse and his brother-in-law, Luke, were travelling the long route home from a family funeral near Merritt when they encountered a few rocks and boulders scattered along Duffey Lake Road about 15 minutes past Lillooet.
With no closures or alerts reported on DriveBC, the provincial service for highway information and notifications, the pair continued driving until they came upon a line of stopped vehicles.
Morse said they exited their jeep to see what was going on, and learned the cars had come to a halt due to an earlier slide.
They got back inside their vehicle and turned the engine on – but it was too late.
“In a split second, it just hit us,” Morse told Global News.
“It was just a roar, you could feel it.”
Morse said hearing the mountain move and trees breaking was haunting.
