A passenger bus travelling through a mountainous area was struck by a falling rock, injuring an elderly passenger seated by the window.

The terrifying CCTV footage was filmed in Ya'an City in Sichuan Province on August 5. As the bus approached a bend, a large rock suddenly tumbled down the hillside, crashing into the side of the bus near the window.

Glass and rock fragments from the shattered window flew into the bus, injuring an elderly man.

The quick-thinking driver immediately hit the brakes, stabilised the vehicle, and called emergency services. Under the driver's direction, passengers swiftly and orderly evacuated to a safe area.

Upon receiving the emergency call, local authorities, including police, traffic, and health departments, swiftly activated an emergency response plan and dispatched rescue teams to the scene.

According to reports, the elderly man suffered a minor fracture to his brow bone. He was promptly taken to a hospital where he received stitches and is currently under observation, with no life-threatening injuries reported.

Preliminary analysis suggests that the incident was likely caused by recent continuous rainfall, which loosened the soil and exacerbated rock weathering on the hillside.

8月5日，四川雅安，一辆行驶中的客运车在山区路段突遇山上滚落的落石，导致车内一名靠窗的老人受伤。据现场救援人员和医院方面消息，老人眉骨轻微骨折，经及时送医缝合治疗后，目前留院观察，幸无生命危险。

监控画面显示，这辆满载乘客的客运车正沿着蜿蜒的山路行驶，行驶至某弯道处时，山上突然滚落一块巨石，直接砸中了车辆一侧靠近窗户的位置。巨大的冲击力瞬间打破了车窗，飞溅的玻璃碎片和石块让车内乘客惊恐不已。在这突如其来的灾难面前，司机迅速踩下刹车，稳定车辆，并立即拨打了报警电话和急救电话。车内乘客也在司机的指挥下，迅速而有序地疏散到安全地带。
接到报警后，当地公安、交通、卫生等部门迅速启动应急预案，派遣救援人员赶赴现场。医护人员首先对受伤老人进行了初步检查，发现其眉骨部位有明显伤口，随即将其送往附近医院接受进一步治疗。

在医院，专家团队对老人进行了全面检查和会诊，确诊其眉骨轻微骨折。经过紧急缝合处理后，老人被安排留院观察，以便随时监测其身体状况。医院方面表示，将全力以赴为老人提供最好的医疗服务，确保其早日康复。

据初步分析，此次事故可能是由于近期连续降雨导致山体土壤松动、岩石风化加剧所致。为避免类似事件再次发生，当地政府和相关部门已决定加强对该路段及周边山体的巡查和监测工作，及时发现并处理潜在的安全隐患。
