Jogger trips, falls 40 feet

A Honolulu man jogging near the Kalihiwai Bridge on Kauai’s North Shore fell 40 feet and held onto a tree on the side of a cliff before he was rescued early Saturday morning, a Kauai County spokeswoman said.

The 40-year-old man had been jogging on the makai side of the bridge at about 2:45 a.m. when he tripped and fell

over the railing, said county spokeswoman Mary Daubert. She said the man used a cellphone to call a friend for help.

Firefighters from the Hanalei station rescued the man, who had injured his left leg and shoulder. Medics took him to Wilcox Hospital for treatment.

Police closed Kuhio Highway from 3 to 4:45 a.m. during the rescue.

Body of diver found off Maui

Maui firefighters from Paia recovered the body of a missing diver about 25 yards off the Mantokuji Soto Zen Mission on Friday night.

The diver, a 32-­year-old man, was pronounced dead after his body was brought to shore, a Maui Fire Department spokesman said. Police identified the victim as Linho Pelep of Kahului.

Police said Pelep was diving with friends, who called authorities when they could not locate him about 10 p.m.

An autopsy will be performed.
