PAHOA, HI – The Hawaii Police Department is searching for a driver who struck and injured a female pedestrian.

According to a police news release, the incident happened last Friday on Highway 130, near Malama Street in Pāhoa.

Puna patrol officers determined that a 36-year-old Pāhoa woman was walking in the northbound shoulder lane off Highway 130 just south of Malama Street at about 4 a.m. when she was struck by a Kalapana-bound motorcycle heading south.

The victim was taken to the Hilo Medical Center, where she was listed in stable condition. Police said the driver of the motorcycle fled the scene without stopping to help. Police asked residents in the area to look at their home surveillance videos for any motorcycles that may have been spotted during that time. The motorcycle being sought may have sustained front end damage, according to investigators.

Puna patrol officers initiated a negligent injury investigation and asked anyone who may have witnessed the collision to contact them.

As the founding attorney of the Recovery Law Center, he is passionate about helping his clients with their physical, emotional and financial recovery. Mr. Honda will fight to get you coverage for your medical bills, lost wages, damaged property and other costs related to your accident.

Once again, I had the misfortune of being in an accident on the road again. First time, a careless tourist hit me while I was driving on my motorcycle and just recently, a rear end collision while waiting for the traffic light to change. In both cases, I have been well informed on getting a fair settlement for my injuries, and resolving all issues, including recommending a physician that specialized in assisting in my recovery on the injuries. I highly recommend Glenn Honda, and his staff at Recovery Law Center to anyone who is looking for a law firm that knows the legal system and cares about their clients too.

Aloha, The team at Recovery Law Center was exceptional beyond expectations. Their professionalism, insight of my situation, and knowledge was on point from beginning to the end. They were on point and proactive on behalf of me and I felt very comfortable. I always felt assured that they were in control of my situation as if I was family. From fast replies to any questions I had to sending holiday cards in the mail. They encouraged and guided me in this first time ordeal on my path to recovery. I would recommend them to anyone. I have a great deal of gratitude and appreciation. I could go on for days with praise, but long story short they treated me like Ohana and I was beyond pleased with the settlement. Thank you guys! Aloha.
