3 Rescued After Car Plunges from Glacier’s Going-to-the-Sun Road

Glacier National Park Rangers responded Monday after a car plunged 40 feet off GNP's Going-to-the-Sun Road. The car had been forced to swerve around another car which had stopped to observe a bear, according to the Great Falls Tribune. The car's three occupants were retrieved in stable condition. Two were transported to the hospital via ambulance and one via ALERT helicopter, and the car was dragged back up to the road by a tow truck.
