According to information released by officials at Yellowstone National Park, a vehicle with five occupants veered off the roadway and into the Semi-Centennial Geyser thermal feature near Roaring Mountain. The incident took place between Mammoth Hot Springs and Norris Junction.
The provided information stated that “all five occupants exited the vehicle on their own and each was transported via ambulance to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.”
Due to the incident, law enforcement rangers closed both lanes of the roadway near the area in order to “lift the car out of the thermal feature.”

Roads in the area were closed for approximately two hours.
Entities involved in the operation included Hanser’s Automotive, U.S. Water Rescue Dive Team and HK Contractors. Officials also expressed appreciating for Resource Technologies Incorporated and the various park stations for their “collective expertise and professionalism in removing the car in such an expeditious manner.
