(CNN) - A 15-year-old boy who survived a flight from California to Hawaii by hitching a ride in the plane's wheel well said he was trying to get to Somalia to see his mother, a law enforcement official told CNN on Tuesday.

He remains in a hospital in Hawaii, Kayla Rosenfeld, a spokeswoman for the state's Department of Human Services, said Tuesday afternoon.

The teen, who has not yet been identified, spent more than six hours on the ground before the Maui-bound jet took off, another government official says.

The boy jumped an airport fence in San Jose, California, shortly after 1 a.m. on Sunday, hours before Hawaiian Airlines Flight 45 took off at 7:55 a.m., the official said.

The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, didn't know when the teen climbed into the wheel well, but said the plane already was at the airport at 1 a.m.

Investigators say they don't think the teen knew where the plane was heading and just went to the nearest aircraft.

Authorities said the boy came out of the wheel well of the Boeing 767 about an hour after it landed at the Kahului Airport on the island of Maui.

He is in the custody of child welfare services workers, said Kayla Rosenfeld, a spokeswoman for the state's Department of Human Services.

The teen told authorities he was from Santa Clara, California, and ran away from home on Sunday, FBI Special Agent Tom Simon said.

R u freaking serious???? I remember watching news yesterday at 6 in the morning and thinking---what a bold teenager. They also showed statistics-- so far there have been 105 people who tried what he did and ONLY 25 survived. It is said, if the elements wont kill u, the lack oxygen will. U go into sleep, hibernation style and some of the people fall off. He was very lucky to be alive walaahi. But I don't buy this story of he wanted to go to Somalia for his parents. LOL that's a clear story to touch Gaalo and speed up some "Responsooor"!

What a dumb bastard

I'm convinced Somalis will be one of the few races to survive after Earth's inevitable nuclear holocaust.

[Estarix]

Utter madness.

[Lillaahiya]

He's gonna get the beating of a lifetime when he reaches home.

[Hyperactive]

his time wasn't up. that shows how mad you are if your time not up, nothing you can do!!

[Methylamine]

Why does every crazy story have some sort of Somali connection to it nowadays

[Epic]

This is not true. First of all, the kid is 16 years old not 15 from Santa Clara County, California. He is a 100% African American. Authorities will not release his name because he is a minor. Some Somali rumors go beyond words could explain.

mashallah what a bright kid.

Bright? I have no doubt this kid is mentally challenged in at least some capacity.

Jump on the wheel well of a random plane and cross your fingers it lands in Somalia? most kids aren't that stupid.
