CALGARY, Alberta — Search teams located a second body Friday following a massive rockfall off a hiking trail in Canada’s Banff National Park.

The University of Alberta confirmed one of the two people killed in the rockfall in Banff National Park was retired educator Jutta Hinrichs, who was a leader in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine.

Parks Canada officials say she was 70 and lived in Calgary.

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

Three others were taken to the hospital and were reported in stable condition.
