KAILUA-KONA, HI – Hawaii police released information regarding an accident that left a pedestrian critically injured early Sunday morning.
The incident happened on Ali‘i Drive near the Kailua-Kona pier. Police responding to the scene at about 3:30 a.m. determined that a northbound 2023 Toyota Corolla sedan ran over a 35-year-old man who was laying down in the middle of the northbound lane.
The victim, a Kailua-Kona resident, suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to the Queens Medical Center in Honolulu where he was listed in critical condition.
The driver of the vehicle, a 49-year-old Kailua-Kona man, stopped to render aid and called authorities.
