HONOLULU, HI – A man suspected in a hit-and-run incident in Honolulu on Monday morning is under arrest, reports the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
The crash involved two vehicles and occurred on Ala Moana Boulevard near Atkinson Drive at about 10:48 a.m. According to police, a driver going westbound crashed into the back of another car that had stopped in traffic.
