Two people have died and another three suffered injuries when a major rockfall crashed onto a group of hikers on a popular Rocky Mountain trail in Western Canada, officials said.
The accident happened near the Bow Glacier Falls in Banff National Park, about 225 kilometres (140 miles) northwest of Calgary, Alberta. The area is known for its natural beauty and is particularly busy in summer. It is also about 140km (85 miles) from the site of the G7 summit held in Kananaskis, Alberta, this week.
In a joint statement, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Parks Canada said a second body had been recovered. The first victim was a 70-year-old woman from Calgary.
No more people have been reported missing.
Local resident Niclas Brundell, who was hiking on the trail, estimated that about 15 to 20 people were standing to the right of the falls when he and his wife noticed small rocks tumbling down. Alarmed, the two of them ran from the area.
"I turned round and saw basically a whole shelf of a mountain come loose," he told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
"We just kept sprinting and I couldn't see the people behind us anymore because they were all in that cloud of rock."
Rescuers had rushed to the park after receiving reports that a group of hikers had been struck by the rockslide.
STARS Air Ambulance spokeswoman Kate Langille earlier said two of its units were deployed around 2pm.
Andy Dragt, an organizer for a local hiking club, told the Globe and Mail newspaper that one of its members had been killed in the rockfall. Around 10 club members had been present, he said, declining to identify the deceased.
The Bow Glacier Falls hiking trail is a 9km (6-mile) route running along the edges of Bow Lake. It's considered a moderate challenge for hikers and day-trippers include families.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she was deeply saddened.
"We are thinking of all those involved and wishing for their safety as we await further details," she said in a post on social media.
Parks Canada has asked visitors to avoid the area.
