Three robberies by one man, police say
Traffic in the west-bound lanes of the H-1 Freeway was backed up for miles today after a truck dumped a load of rocks near the Waiawa overpass.
The incident occurred at about 1:30 just west of the overpass. No one was injured, but the H-1 resembled a parking lot as police closed off lanes to allow crews to clean up the mess.
At one point, cars were lined up to the Kaonohi Street overpass. The road was cleared at about 3:30 p.m., said Department of Transportation spokesman Scott Ishikawa.
