69
A 21-year-old female visitor from China is in critical condition at a Maui hospital after she was rescued from a pond in the Twin Falls area of Haiku Sunday.
Maui firefighters said she and her husband were swimming when the accident occurred at 2:31 p.m.
When Paia firefighters arrived at 2:51 p.m. they found bystanders performing CPR on the woman. Bystanders searching the pond found the woman submerged underwater below a waterfall, about a couple hundred yards mauka of Hana Highway. The woman was unresponsive and without a pulse when bystanders began CPR.
Fire crews and paramedics took over life-saving efforts and carried the woman back to Hana Highway after she regained vital signs. The woman was transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center in critical condition.
My prayers for her recovery.
