PAHOA: A stream of lava threatened to block a key Hawaii highway on Saturday that serves as an escape route for coastal residents, while the first known serious injury was reported from fresh explosive eruptions from the Kilauea volcano.

As magma destroyed four more homes, molten rock from two huge cracks merged into a single stream, threatening to block escape routes. Fountains of bright orange lava were seen spouting at least 20-feet high and spewing rivers of molten rock on Saturday.
