Tragedy on Yellowstone: Seven dead in serious traffic accident
Yellowstone-Nationalpark, USA - A tragic traffic accident near the Yellowstone national park called for seven lives on Thursday evening, May 2, 2025. The accident occurred near Henry’s Lake, in the east of Idaho, when a pick-up and a minibus with 14 inmates collided. Six people from the minibus and the driver of the pick-up died at the scene of the accident, while the injuries were immediately transported to various hospitals by helicopter. The identity of the victims and their nationality are not yet known. The affected Highway is heavily frequented and leads to one of the entrances to the Yellowstone national park, which attracts millions of visitors every year.
In another tragic turn, a serious accident occurred in the Yellowstone National Park when a tank claster tipped over on Friday, which led to a loss of estimated over 18,000 liters of fuel. Investigations are underway to determine whether the fuel came to the Grayling Creek, which flows into the Hebgensee in Montana. Fortunately, there were no injuries in this incident. The Highway 191, on which the accident took place, was partially closed to cleaning work on Friday evening to eliminate the dangers and protect the environment. According to RND, measures must now be taken to minimize possible environmental damage.
challenges for national parks
In parallel to these incidents, national parks in the USA, including the Yellowstone national park, are faced with considerable difficulties. A record of 331 million visitors was recorded in 2024. However, due to mass layoffs that also affected parking and other staff, there is a lack of workers for important services such as waste disposal and tours. The tense conditions already use environmental protection -conscious groups to organize protests against the scandalous layoffs of employees, whereby the uncertainty about the accessibility of the parks affects the holiday plans of many tourists. This situation could potentially bring significant financial losses for the region, as many vacationers have difficulty booking tours and finding information on ticket sales.| Details | |
