A comedian badly hurt when a Honolulu police car struck him in a Waikiki crosswalk is weighing a lawsuit, and his lawyers say the department has misled the public about what happened.

• Ian Shippen was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk with the right of way when an officer making a left turn hit him.
• Police first blamed Shippen, but a police report they later obtained cites the officer's inattention, misjudgment, and running a traffic signal.
• The officer allegedly turned on a red light — there are two "no turn on red" signs at the intersection — and his lawyers say video shows the officer only flashed his lights after the crash, not before.
• Shippen suffered a brain injury, broken bones, and other wounds, spent a week in the hospital, and has had to cancel comedy shows.

Outlook: His attorneys are weighing their legal options against a filing deadline and appear likely to sue the department.
