Car runs off the road and into thermal geyser at Yellowstone National Park

Five people are safe after the sports utility vehicle they were riding in went off the road and into an inactive hot, acidic geyser in Yellowstone National Park, officials said Friday.

The passengers, whose names were not released by officials, were driving Thursday morning near a semi-centennial geyser thermal pool when it went off the road.

The five people were able to get out of the 105-degree Fahrenheit (41 degrees Celsius) acidic water on their own after the crash, park spokesperson Morgan Warthin said in a statement.
