HONOLULU, HI – A pedestrian was critically injured after being struck by a vehicle in the Waipahu area last week, according to a release from the Honolulu Police Department.
Police and paramedics responded to the scene on Mokuola Street on April 21 at about 3:15 p.m. A preliminary investigation indicated that a 22-year-old man was driving north on Mokuola Street when he traveled to the right of the roadway and collided with a tree. The driver kept going forward onto the sidewalk and hit a 32-year-old man who was walking northbound in the sidewalk area.
