Police investigating Likelike Highway crash that left 32-year-old woman dead

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Police are investigating a Likelike Highway crash that left a 32-year-old woman dead Tuesday morning.

The crash happened around 5:30 a.m. on Likelike Highway southbound after the Burmeister overpass.

Authorities said a 28-year-old woman was driving on the highway when she struck the female pedestrian.

The pedestrian was in the highway and not in a marked crosswalk when she was struck, HPD said.

EMS said the pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.

Speed, alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors in the crash at this time.

Likelike Highway was closed for investigation — snarling the morning commute — but it has since been reopened.

An investigation remains ongoing.
