(AP) — A visitor to Hawaiʻi fell off a cliff and died Wednesday while hiking a ridge line trail near a mountain summit on the east side of Oʻahu. The 30-year-old traveler fell 250 feet while hiking near the third peak of Mount Olomana. The name and hometown of the victim hasn’t been released. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports a 32-year-old tourist fell from the same trail days earlier and suffered a serious head injury. The Honolulu Fire Department says the man had been hiking with three others, including a Hawaii resident. Local rescue crews have been dispatched to the trail five times this year and responded to 13 calls in 2021, according to a fire department spokesperson. At least five others have died on the trail since 2011.
