An SUV drove off the road and landed in a geyser at Yellowstone National Park.
The car ended up in the Semi-Centennial Geyser thermal feature near Roaring Mountain between Mammoth Hot Springs and Norris Junction around 10:40 a.m. Thursday, the National Park Service said in a news release on Friday.
The Semi-Centennial Geyser has acidic and hot surface water temperatures. Temperatures of this geyser can reach about 105 degrees, the agency said.
Luckily everyone in the SUV were able to get out by themselves. They were then taken to a local hospital by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries.

Yellowstone law enforcement rangers closed both lanes of the roadway near the accident to pull the SUV out of the geyser on Friday, the park service said.
The vehicle was fully submerged in about 9 feet of water. The roadway near the incident was closed for about two hours, the agency said.
