KAHUKU, HI – An elderly woman was killed in a recent pedestrian collision in the Kahuku area, according to the Honolulu Police Department.
The 90-year-old victim was hit by a vehicle Feb. 21 on Leleuli Street near Pahelehala Loop. An investigation determined that she was attempting to cross Leleuli Street outside of a marked crosswalk at about 7:30 a.m. when she was struck by a vehicle going eastbound.
