OAHU, Hawaii — An 8-year-old boy plunged down a 20-foot shaft connected to a bunker while hiking with his family on Oahu, Hawaii officials reported.

Rescuers received a 911 call about the accident on the Koko Head Trail at 5:24 p.m. Saturday, July 5 , the Honolulu Fire Department said in a news release.
