One person is in a serious condition and 11 others are injured, after a lava bomb hit a tour boat in Hawaii.

Hawaii County Fire Department says the lava punctured the boat's roof in Wailoa Harbour.

Three people were taken to hospital, while the remaining nine passengers drove themselves to hospital with superficial injuries.

The harbour is about an hour's boat ride away from where lava from Big Island's Kilauea volcano has been hitting the ocean.
