Two hikers injured in separate incidents on Moanalua trail

Honolulu Fire Department rescue personnel rescued two hikers who were injured in separate incidents on the Moanalua Valley trail today.

The first emergency call at 8:40 a.m. involved a woman in her 60s who had fallen about 10 feet on the trail and sustained multiple minor injuries. Rescue personnel found the woman about three-quarters of a mile into the valley and were able to transport her out on a stretcher.

Hours later, a woman in her 40s was injured in a fall near the intersection with the Koolau Summit. HFD personnel were able to land a rescue helicopter in a nearby clearing and transport the woman to the landing pad at Tripler Army Medical Center, where she was transferred to the care of Emergency Medical Services.
