HONOLULU (AP) — A U.S. Army soldier has been upgraded to stable condition after a fall onto a ledge in a volcano crater in Hawaii.
Park officials say another visitor reported seeing the 32-year-old soldier, who was not named, fall from a 300-foot cliff on Wednesday evening.
Officials say he had climbed over a metal railing at Steaming Bluff overlook to get a better view and the ground beneath him gave way. He was found more than two hours later seriously injured on a narrow ledge about 70 feet from the edge and flown by helicopter to a hospital. Hawaii News Now reported Thursday that Army officials say the soldier was stationed at Oahu's Schofield Barracks and training on the Big Island.
