63 Year Old Woman Attacked by Shark on Maui
College professor Peller Marion from San Rafael California felt something grab her leg when she was snorkeling in 10 to 15 feet of water off of Keawakapu Beach near Kehei on the island of Maui May 7, 2007. It took her about 5 minutes to swim 100 yards back to shore where she found she had a deep gash in her foot, another wound in her leg, and several fractures. An hour earlier a surfer about 1.5 miles away reported his board had been bumped by what appeared to be a large tiger shark, prompting the county to close Kamaole II Beach. After the woman was bitten the beach closure was expanded to a four mile stretch of coast.
