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 (41 degrees Celsius) 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.

    Hot take, all of those are the driver’s fault. Aside from unexpected health conditions, but you don’t see people just walking down the street and falling over every day. Heck, you get your license suspended if your doctor even thinks you have a risk of seizures.

    If you can’t control your car in any of those other conditions, and/or avoid those conditions, you should not be behind the wheel of a deadly vehicle.
