Yosemite Rockslide Kills Park Worker

DEADLY

Key route into park closed.

A snowstorm has caused rockslides in Yosemite National Park, killing one park worker and causing the major route into the park to be closed.

Other trees fell around the park, shutting down a main roadway into the park, but the park remained open.
