10 cars involved in H-1 accident

A three-car accident turned into a 10-car pileup during the morning commute on the H-1 Freeway between Waikele and Kunia today, closing the two left lanes of town-bound traffic for more than two hours .

The first problem occurred west of the Waikele off-ramp about 6:41 a.m. when three cars bumped into each other. Within the hour, the accident extended to the Kunia off-ramp when seven other cars failed to stop in time and hit each other, said Honlulul Fire Department officials.

No major injuries were reported, but most of the cars needed to be towed away, fire officials said.

Murder suspect gives up in Kalihi

Police said a 41-year-old Honolulu man accused of attempted murder turned himself in yesterday at the Kalihi Police Station.

The victim suffered from multiple stab wounds in his upper body. Police said the man's wounds were not serious.

Another Honolulu man, 38, was also in the altercation and was arrested on Monday after he turned himself in.

Man breaches security at airport

A 27-year-old civilian crewman from the USNS Yukon was arrested today after he temporarily breached security at the Honolulu International Airport.

The suspect was caught about 2:30 a.m. after he climbed over the United Airlines cargo fence and then an airport security fence, which was topped with barbed wire, said Marilyn Kali, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation.

Airport security guards detained the man and called sheriff's deputies. Misdemeanor charges are likely, said John Borges, sheriff's administrator. Borges said the man appeared to be intoxicated and remains in sheriff's custody.

The Yukon is an oiler that was in town for the RIMPAC 2002 military exercises, which conclude Monday.
