Photos: What-A-Rock Stops Truck
February 15, 2013
A truck driver found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place in Century Thursday afternoon.
The 18-wheeler driver turned too short, hitting a landscaping rock as he entered the truck parking lot at the Whataburger on North Century Boulevard just south of East Highway 4. The rock became lodged under the truck’s trailer.
The truck-rock combo were stopped for hours waiting for a wrecker.
The Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue was called to the scene after an unfounded report that the truck was leaking fuel. The Escambia County Sheriff’s off also responded, helping direct traffic.
The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.

All those rock comments sure do aggregate me.
If this trucks a rock-n don’t come nocking
I have to say…These comments ROCK!
when was the last time your saw a pinto on the road the pinto is the rocks younger brother
Too funny
These are the best comments on NE ever. I laughed so hard I cried!
I am calling for ban of these “assault rocks” had that driver not been able to completely stop that dangerous rock under his large truck, that assault rock may have killed someone in a pinto
if everyone gave a buck for each laugh we got, it might help pay for the drivers damages that he has to pay, thanks William for giving humor with class there were so great comments again thanks.
Looks to me like the truck driver took that turn for granite. That rock is definitely a good corner stone.
now we know that not only does rock beat scissors, it also beats truck
i wonder what truck beats…
Hey Cygie,,,,maybe a weapon of mash destruction?
Well, apparently he couldn’t rock and roll……..-_-
He must have been stoned?
@ David: Rock was very large caliber. Still possible to cause damage with one round. Rock may be Glock.
How about this
The evidence is ROCK SOLID.
CONTEMPLATING:
“Bet rock was not registered. Probably no rock permit…”
At least the rock only had one round
David for the little things
Good thing the rock was there.
May have saved a pole.
UH OH you guys are going to hate me for this one, but,,,,,,,you know what Century is coming to now yes?,,,,,,, Sex, drugs, and Rock on the Roll ! sorry,,,,,
maybe the rock was engaged in the newly formed,,,,” occupy parking island” thing?
Russian meteor fragment
well that is to funny what you posted, love it.
Liberals: Ban all rocks! The rock caused that poor driver to get stuck. Forget about the driver; go after all rocks. Bet rock was not registered. Probably no rock permit…
Officer: Can you tell me what happened?
Rock: It happened so fast. I was just laying there when….
BOOM
I love living in North Escambia! This is classic.
LOL sonors! Now we must outlaw all big rocks in drives because they pose a hazard to bad drivers! ROFL! Gotta love it.
Rock would not have gotten in the way if some one hadn’t biggie sized it!
Looks like the rock found itself between a truck and a hard place. Thankful nobody was injured.
