69-Year-Old Woman Dies After Being Struck by Car in Honolulu Zoo Parking Lot

Nov 08, 2026

A 69-year-old woman has died after being hit by a car in a Honolulu Zoo parking lot, marking a rise in non-traffic deaths on Oahu this year.

  • The woman was hit while walking behind a car that was backing up in the lot on Friday.
  • She was taken to the hospital with a head injury and died a few days later.
  • This is the sixth non-traffic fatality on Oahu this year; there were none at this point in 2025.
  • Separately, a 74-year-old man crashed his car into two empty parked vehicles.

Outlook: Local officials are likely to face renewed pressure over parking lot and pedestrian safety given the jump in non-traffic deaths this year.
