HONOLULU, HI – Police are investigating a recent hit-and-run incident in Honolulu that left a pedestrian critically injured.
According to the Honolulu Police Department, the vehicle vs. pedestrian collision occurred June 8 on South King Street in the Moiliili area at about 3 a.m. Investigators said a male pedestrian was trying to cross the street in a marked crosswalk with the pedestrian signal when he was struck by a motorist traveling eastbound on South King Street.
After the initial crash, the driver lost control and collided with a parked and unoccupied vehicle, pushing that vehicle into another parked and unoccupied vehicle. The motorist fled the scene and was last seen heading east on South King Street. A short time later police found the motorist’s vehicle abandoned at the intersection of Waialae Avenue and Palolo Avenue. The motorist had yet to be identified.
