A traffic crash has shut down part of Daniel K. Inouye Highway on Hawaii Island, which is bad news for South Kohala drivers heading across the island tonight.

• The road is closed between Old Saddle Road and Highway 190 after a crash.
• Police are telling drivers to stay away from the area and find another route.
• The closure is expected to last until about 7:30 tonight.
• County officials have not yet released details on what caused the crash or whether anyone was hurt.

Outlook: The highway should reopen later this evening, though the closure could stretch longer if cleanup takes more time.
