The shocking footage shows the moment drivers on a major highway in Canada were struck by hail the size of golf balls on Monday.

Gibran Marquez was traveling on a highway in central Alberta with two others when the trio had to stop as their car caught hail.

Marquez posted a video of the storm on Twitter that showed passengers writhing on the highway and dodging as bits of hail smashed car windows.

The video captioned, “Last night 5km south of Petrol Alley, 17 minutes horrific as it showed car windows smashing when hail hit the roof.

Marquis can be heard saying, ‘Put the backpack to your left’ as he passes through the bag like a shield of broken windows.

Coincidentally, the weather on Monday in some parts of Alberta was as high as 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 56 degrees Fahrenheit, according to The Weather Channel.
