Elderly driver hurt in crash after going wrong way on Moanalua Freeway

Glenn Honda | May 13, 2026 |

KALIHI, HI – A wrong-way collision in Kalihi on Monday morning left an elderly driver critically injured, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.

The accident took place on the North King Street off-ramp of eastbound Moanalua Freeway. According to police, a 93-year-old man was driving in the wrong direction on the freeway shortly before noon, going westbound.

As his vehicle went up the off-ramp, he collided with another car. The first driver was rushed to an emergency room by Honolulu Emergency Medical Services, and was listed in critical condition.

The driver of the second vehicle, a 41-year-old man, refused treatment at the scene and transport to the hospital. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts at the time of the wreck.

At this point, investigators do not believe that speed, drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the crash.

I'm so glad I met Glenn. He's honest, smart, and approachable. Glenn gave great advice during the initial consultation (free of charge, by the way). Through his guidance, I negotiated a settlement with the insurance company. His staff is great, too — professional, respectful, skilled and kind. The location of his office is convenient.

GLENN HONDA is a great personal injury attorney who works hard for those he represents and is by your side giving you the support, advocacy, and representation you need when you truly need it most! Thank you Glenn Honda for representing and standing up for me when I was in a bad accident and for being there for me when I was at a real low! Glenn and his team were there for me from the day I called him and was there throughout my recovery. He helped me find specialists that really helped my body recover from the injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. He and his team fought hard against the insurance company to get me a settlement that I deserved and one that covered my medical bills, property loss, and funds to further assist me with my needs. I am very grateful to Glenn and his team for representing me and for the support he showed me. He's an awesome attorney and a good man that in my opinion went over and beyond to help me and he treated me with great respect. I would definitely recommend that you call Glenn Honda at Recovery Law Center for help in getting the representation that you need and deserve!
