A 20-year-old woman from Germany was hospitalized in critical condition, after her right arm was severed in a shark attack at Palauea Beach, also known as White Rock in M膩kena, on Wednesday afternoon, county officials confirmed.
The attack was reported at around 4:41 p.m. while the woman was snorkeling about 50 yards from shore. County officials say the conditions were choppy with limited visibility.
