The US Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is reporting a “pattern” of activity at the summit of the Kīlauea Volcano that is resulting in explosion events that are occurring about once a day.

Seven more people were cited Wednesday night by officers from the DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement for loitering in a closed volcano eruption zone area. That brings the total to at least 25.

Emergency crews responded and recovered a white 2013 GMC pick-up from the bottom of the cliff, which was partially submerged in the water. A male driver was found inside the truck and pronounced dead at the scene.

Scientists with the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory say there has been no explosive event since yesterday morning, but they do anticipate another one within the next few hours.
