This is the 51st Traffic Fatality on Oahu this year, as compared to 50 at this same time last year.

On December 18, 2020, at about 11:50 PM, there was a critical motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Ala Alii Street and Kahuapaani Street in the Halawa area.

A 21-year-old Honolulu male was traveling northbound on Kahuapaani Street prior to Ala Alii Street when he struck a 21-year-old Honolulu female in the roadway. The 21 year-old-female who was crossing Kahuapaani Street in a marked crosswalk but did not have the right of way.

The 21-year-old Honolulu male subsequently fled the collision scene and later returned to the scene of the collision.

The 21-year-old Honolulu male was determined to be under the influence and was placed under arrest for Failure to Render Aid, Negligent Injury in the First Degree and Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an Intoxicant (OVUII).

At this time, alcohol appears to be a contributing factor to this collision. Speed does not appear to be a contributing factor.

The investigation is ongoing.
