Of the 13 injured passengers, four were taken by ambulance to Hilo Medical Center, according to the Hawaii County Fire Department. One woman in her 20s was in serious condition with a fractured femur, the fire department said. Three passengers were in stable condition. The lava bomb, or flying chunk of molten rock, left a large hole in the boat's roof, the fire department said. A railing was also damaged. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-07-17 |
