NANAKULI, HI – A multi-vehicle collision involving a police car in Honolulu sent four people to the hospital, reports Hawaii News Now.
The incident happened Wednesday morning along Farrington Highway in Nanakuli. Authorities said a Honolulu police officer was driving west at about 8:40 a.m. and struck a westbound vehicle as that driver was trying to make a turn onto Helelua Street. The police car then veered into the eastbound lanes and crashed into another eastbound vehicle, causing that vehicle to hit two more vehicles.
A 30-year-old woman in the second eastbound vehicle was hospitalized in critical condition. The police officer, a 31-year-old man, was in serious condition. Two other passengers in the second eastbound vehicle were taken to the hospital, a 31-year-old man who was in serious condition, and a 4-year-old boy who was in stable condition.
Honolulu police said speed appears to be a contributing factor in the wreck.
Lanes were closed in both directions on Farrington Highway while the accident was being cleared and investigated.
