Woman falls into cesspool

A Big Island woman had to be rescued after she fell into an old cesspool in the front yard of a Hawaiian Paradise Park home.

Daisy Lopez Villalobos was on her second day on the job as a home health aide Thursday when her client asked her to fetch a mop. As she walked back across the grass, the ground gave way.

The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported she fell an estimated 10 to 15 feet down the old cesspool.

Her client called 911. Firefighters and police came and lowered a harness and ladder to Villalobos to help her climb out of the hole.

She suffered a badly bruised hip and some cuts.
