A tree fell onto live power lines in Waikane, shutting down part of Kamehameha Highway and snarling traffic for Windward Oahu drivers.

  • A downed tree hit live power lines, forcing parts of Kamehameha Highway to close.
  • Police have set up contraflow near Haupoa Street and Johnson Road to keep cars moving.
  • Drivers should stay away from the area and expect heavier traffic.
