The hit-and-run incident reported by KHON2 occurred around 1:20 a.m. last Saturday, near Haiku Road. The man was walking along the highway when a vehicle fatally struck him and fled the scene. An investigation has been launched, with the Honolulu Police searching for the driver responsible.
After the initial incident, other drivers attempted to help, but became involved in the situation themselves. A 52-year-old woman and her passenger stopped to assist the pedestrian, leading to a chain-reaction collision. A 55-year-old driver tried to avoid the stopped vehicle, but was rear-ended by another car, driven by a 40-year-old man with a 32-year-old female passenger. This second impact struck the pedestrian again, further complicating the situation. As a result, the highway was closed for eight hours, as reported by Hawaii News Now.
Emergency services arrived at the scene where the pedestrian was declared deceased. Meanwhile, the 32-year-old female passenger involved in the secondary collision was taken to the hospital in serious condition. At this moment, the police remain uncertain if speed, drugs, or alcohol played any role in the sequence of events…
