Terrifying moment massive hail storm smashes car’s window in Canada as people duck for cover inside 

Horrific footage shows the moment when drivers on a major Canada highway were slammed with hail the size of golf balls on Monday.

Gibran Marquez was traveling on a central Alberta highway with two others when the trio had to pull over as their vehicle was hit with hail.

Marquez posted the video of the storm on Twitter that showed the passengers pulled over on the highway and ducking while chunks of hail break the car windows.

The video was captioned, ‘Last night 5km south of gasoline alley, horrible 17 minutes as it showcased the car windows breaking as hail hit the surface.

‘Put the backpack on your left,’ Marquez can be heard saying as he passes the driver the bag as a shield from the breaking windows.

Coincidentally, the weather on Monday in some parts of Alberta was a high of 80 F and a low of 56 F, according to The Weather Channel.
