How one rock is at the center of it

NORFOLK, Neb. (NCN) – Have you ever been stuck between a rock and a hard place? Well, some people’s cravings for Chipotle have put them there.

Workers at a Norfolk Chipotle cannot believe that a rock within the restaurant’s parking lot is creating such a ruckus.

“No, I have not hit it, no,” said Brandon Carruthers, Chipotle the general manager at Norfolk’s Chipotle. “Next thing I know, there’s someone up on the rock, and I’m like there’s no way … I look around the corner, and there’s just a car up there, and I’m just like, how does this even happen?”

Videos and pictures posted online show that five cars have collided with the rock, catching the attention of the Norfolk community and prompting the creation of a dedicated Facebook page.

Everyone from country radio stations, animal shelters and even the Norfolk Police Department joined in on the sensation.

Customers who have been coming in cannot believe that people are actually getting stuck on a rock.

“I guess it’s a little bit of a tight turn, but they’re pretty big rocks so I don’t know how people aren’t missing,” Gabrielle Mackey said.

The latest victim to the rock happened on Tuesday, with visible traces of the incident still left behind.

“I think that people need to get better at driving. It’s Norfolk, Nebraska — it’s not that hard,” Callie Schultz said.
