A van can be seen in front of a truck, patiently waiting at a standstill .
Suddenly, a giant boulder comes flying from the mountain at the side of the road.
This caused a complete crush of the roof of the truck, severely damaging the metalwork.
Just moments before, a person can briefly be seen moving in the driver seat of the vehicle.
The boulder is almost as big as the pickup truck, and caused it to fall on its side in the road.
After the incident, there was no movement detected in or around it.
The van and cars in front quickly made their way out of the area, and sped off into the distance.
A driver behind the truck was able to catch the horror moment on a dash cam.
It happened on a one-line two-way mountainside highway in the province of Valochiri, Peru, on Monday (2 Dec).
Four people occupied the truck at the time, as reported by Need To Know.
Three passengers tragically died on the spot, with the driver being rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
After the driver was taken to the hospital, it was reported that he was also seriously injured.
Those who passed away were all of Chinese and Taiwanese descent.
They had travelled to Peru on a business trip, but unfortunately were caught up in a freak accident.
The relevant units in Taiwan and China have not yet confirmed any further information.
