JACKSON, WYOMING - A large boulder bounced down a butte north of Jackson and broke into large pieces that smashed into a home and vehicle over the weekend. No one was hurt.

The rock came loose early Saturday morning just after midnight, and broke into at least four pieces. The largest piece smashed through a wall of the home of Teton County Commissioner Andy Schwartz, blew a 4-by-6-foot hole in the living-room floor and landed in the basement. The family was sleeping in their bedrooms at the time. The piece of rock was about 4 feet square and 3 feet thick.

Just below the Schwartz home, a second piece of rock about 3 feet square and 2 feet thick crashed into a man's Toyota truck, which was parked outside his home.
