A 40-year-old man hurt himself in a fall Saturday on the Hana side of Maliko Gulch.

Maui Fire Department crews responded to the incident at 3:30 p.m., Capt. Rylan Yatsushiro said by email.

The man was walking near a cliff when he fell 6 to 8 feet, he said. Fire crews had to hike in over difficult terrain to reach the man, who had an open fracture near his ankle, Yatsushiro said.

Firefighters airlifted him out on the Air 1 helicopter to Hana Highway, where an ambulance was waiting.

The highway was shut down briefly, but was clear by 5:12 p.m., he said.

The man was taken in stable condition to Maui Memorial Medical Center.

Maliko Gulch runs from Maliko Bay, just north of Hookipa Beach Park, up toward Makawao.
