5 people escape hot, acidic pond after SUV drove into inactive geyser in Yellowstone National Park

MAMMOTH, Wyo. — Five people were able to escape a hot, acidic pond in Yellowstone National Park after the sport utility vehicle they were riding in went off the road and into an inactive geyser, park officials said Friday.

The passengers were able to get out of the 105-degree Fahrenheit water on their own after the crash Thursday morning and were taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, park spokesperson Morgan Warthin said in a statement.
