HONOLULU (KHON2) — A California woman has been cited for entering Sacred Falls State Park, which was closed after a rockfall that killed eight people and injured dozens in 1999.

The woman and her husband were rescued from the park on the afternoon of Feb. 9, after the man fell off the trail and was seriously injured. Currently, he is still in the hospital.

DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources officers interviewed the woman, 67, who told them that she was staying at a property close to Sacred Falls. According to DLNR, the woman said that they decided to follow a streambed to explore the Sacred Falls area, leading them to the trail.

As a result the woman was issued a Civil Resources Violation System citation for violating administrative rules of the DLNR Division of State Parks. The citation carries an administrative, non-criminal penalty of $1,000.

“It’s unfortunate this man was hurt so badly, though the incident could have been avoided had the couple known about the dangers of Sacred Falls and the reason it was closed more than 25 years ago,” said Division of Conservation and Resources Chief Jason Redulla. “In addition to rock falls and eroding trails, first responders like the Honolulu Fire Department and Emergency Services put their lives at risk when they have to rescue people from the closed park.”
