Two-car crash injures 6 on Pali

Six people, including three children, were injured in a two-vehicle traffic accident yesterday afternoon on the Pali Highway.

None of the injuries was serious, police said.

The accident occurred about 3:50 p.m. when a Kailua-bound Neon crashed into a white van near Dowsett Avenue. The impact knocked the van onto its side and sent the Neon into a wall on the Honolulu-bound side of the highway.

Two adults in the Neon were listed as being stable yesterday, police said, and three children who were in the back seat of the car were not seriously injured. The driver of the van also suffered injuries, but police said they were not life-threatening.
