A mountain rockfall tumbled onto a family truck on the picturesque Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park on Aug. 13, killing a 14-year-old girl and leaving four others injured.

Officials at the park in Montana estimated that the rocks, which ranged from fist-sized to a foot in diameter, rained down on the truck, according to local reports, as it approached a tunnel on the popular road that winds through the mountainside.
