A man had his leg injured by spitting lava in what was the first known serious injury that was reported from fresh explosive eruptions from the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii.
The man was on a third-floor balcony when he was hit by lava spatter that shattered his leg from his shin to his foot, said Janet Snyder, a spokesperson for the Office of the Mayor, County of Hawaii.
Snyder revealed that lava spatters 'can weigh as much as a refrigerator and even small pieces of spatter can kill'. No other information was immediately available.
As magma destroyed four more homes, molten rock from two huge cracks merged into a single stream, threatening to block other escape routes and touching off brush fires.
