A rockslide in Yosemite National Park killed two people on Tuesday.
The rockslide occurred around 9 a.m. local time on El Portal Road near Big Oak Flat Road inside the national park, according to KFSN-TV, a Fresno, California ABC affiliate.
The identities of the two people have not been released, pending notification to their families.
“We do have two coroner cases that are a result of the rockslide,” Mariposa County Sheriff’s Public Information Officer Kristie Mitchell told the Sacramento Bee.
The falling rocks closed El Portal Road, a continuation of state route 140, on Tuesday, the park announced.
