Oahu Hit-and-Run Crashes Spark Calls for Action
A string of recent hit-and-run crashes on Oahu has left families grieving and demanding justice, which is bad news for road safety on the island.
- A moped rider was rear-ended and thrown onto Kamehameha Highway early this morning; the driver fled and she is in serious condition.
- A 25-year-old woman was struck and killed by a driver who took off in the Waipahu area; two weeks later, no arrest has been made and her family is speaking out.
- Police also confirmed two more recent hit-and-runs: one involving an elderly couple on the H-1 freeway, and another involving a family with a 2-year-old and a 9-year-old in the car.
