HONOLULU (AP) — A tourist was injured by a breadfruit thrown through a bus window that left her face bloodied and bruised.

Valerie Zaugg of Utah was on a tour bus on Oahu’s Kamehameha Highway on Dec. 22 when a heavy breadfruit the size of a softball crashed through a window and hit her in the face, she said.

A shard of glass went in her eye, she said.

The registered nurse believes her nose was broken and some bones around her eye were fractured during the incident, two Hawaii TV stations reported Sunday.

The bus was near the town of Kaaawa, having recently departed the Polynesian Cultural Center 9 miles to the north.

Zaugg returned home to Utah on Saturday. She had filed a police report, but as of Sunday, police had not arrested a suspect.
