Sep 10, 2026

A woman hurt in a hit-and-run crash on Oahu's H-1 freeway has died, and the driver who hit her is still unknown.

  • The 54-year-old woman was sitting in a car parked on the shoulder of the H-1 near the Kamehameha Highway overpass in Waipahu.
  • Another car slammed into hers around 1 a.m. on Sunday, August 30, and the driver took off without stopping to help.
  • She died later of her injuries, turning the case into a fatal hit-and-run investigation.
  • Police have released nothing about the driver or the car they were in, and are asking the public for help.

Outlook: The search for the driver continues, and charges would likely be serious now that the crash is deadly.
