A teenage boy with a tour group was injured Sunday in a fall from 15 feet onto jagged rocks below a waterfall on the Bamboo Forest trail on Maui.
The Maui Fire Department, which was called to the Kailua area trail in East Maui at 11:08 a.m., said the boy, 13, of Chattanooga, Tenn., was in good condition Sunday with “moderate” injuries. A Kahului helicopter rescue crew located him about 11:45 a.m. at the bottom of the second waterall on the trail.
He was conscious and speaking, the fire department said.
He was airlifted to an open pasture near Hana Highway, where he was treated and transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center.
Fire officials said the teenager and his family were with a group being escorted by a tour guide when the accident occurred.
