The boulders fell on the bonnet of the car coming from Rishikesh to Tehri leaving all its three occupants injured, District Disaster Management Officer Brajesh Bhatt said.
Two persons received minor injuries but the driver was seriouslyinjured in the accident, he said.
The front side of the car was also badly damaged.
