Dog survives after 30-tonne boulder crashes into family’s driveway

A dog miraculously survived after a 30-tonne boulder crashed into a family’s driveway.

Black aspin Moana somehow escaped after the huge rock crushed her cage outside the house in Benguet province in the Philippines.

The sandstone boulder was captured rolling down the street before it flattened several objects on the driveway, including a parked car.

Her owner Conniey said: ‘We heard a loud rumbling from inside the house. It all happened so fast. I thought it was the end for us.’

She added: ‘We were so relieved to find her safe. We really thought we had lost her. She is so smart, her instincts saved her.’

After emerging from the wreckage of the crash, Moana ran across the road to safety.

The front of the home sustained partial damage, while no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.

It came as Typhoon Wipha swept across the northern Philippines, displacing tens of thousands and damaging more than 1,200 homes.

Its 167kph winds and heavy downpours have affected up to 800,000 people and left at least three dead.

Power outages occurred across 76 cities, mainly in the Calabarzon region.

The storm has since progressed across the South China Sea, towards southern China, Vietnam and Thailand.

It also battered Hong Kong, where more than 500 flights were either cancelled or delayed at the city’s Chek Lap Kok Airport.

In Vietnam, the typhoon claimed the lives of at least 30 people on board the tourist sightseeing Wonder Sea boat which capsized on Saturday afternoon at Ha Long Bay, 125 miles northeast of the capital, Hanoi.

Several of the 50 passengers who were on ship, including 20 children, remain missing.

One of the survivors was a 14-year-old boy who was rescued after being trapped for four hours in the boat’s hull.
