On May 22nd, Alquahtani fell off a rocky overhang and was subsequently swept away into the gorge of Avalanche Creek. Alquahtani was spotted by bystanders in a creek that passed beneath the Trail of the Cedars bridge.
Bystanders took action by wading into the water to rescue her. They immediately began administering CPR while some individuals went to seek assistance from park rangers.

According to her friends, Alquahtani, a self-proclaimed risk-taker with a love for water, was on a road trip tour of national parks to celebrate when the incident occurred.

According to Kerzman, water-related incidents such as this one are the primary cause of fatalities at Glacier National Park.
