Woman killed in Kalaeloa crash, speed and alcohol suspected
A 48-year-old woman died after crashing into a tree in Kalaeloa early in the morning, the latest in a steady run of deadly wrecks on Oahu.
- She was driving north on Coral Sea Road, missed a bend, ran off the road and hit a tree.
- She was taken to the hospital and died there.
- Police say she was not wearing a seat belt, and that speed and alcohol look like factors.
- This is the 28th traffic death on Oahu so far this year.
Outlook: Police are still investigating, and the rising death count is likely to bring more enforcement on drunk and speeding drivers.
