HPD: 23-year-old critically injured in Pearl City crash was not wearing seat belt

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A 23-year-old man is in critical condition after crashing into a parked trailer in Pearl City.

The Honolulu Police Department said the incident happened around 7 a.m. Monday when the driver traveling eastbound on Waihona Street veered into the opposite lane of traffic. Police said he then drove into the shoulder lane where he collided with a parked trailer.

Authorities said this caused the parked trailer to push back into another parked trailer.

Officials said the 23-year-old driver was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. Police said he suffered critical injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital.

At this time, police said speed appears to be a factor in the crash, but it’s unknown if drugs or alcohol are factors.
