Rockslide in Banff National Park in Canadian Rockies kills 1, injures 3

Calgary, Alberta — Falling rocks struck people on a hiking trail in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, killing one and injuring three others Thursday.

Rescuers had rushed to the park in the afternoon after receiving reports that a group of hikers had been struck by the rockslide. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Parks Canada later confirmed one died and three were injured near Bow Glacier Falls.

 The site is north of Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway, about 124 miles northwest of Calgary. It's also about 85 miles from the site of the Group of Seven summit held in Kananaskis, Alberta, this week.
