4 men injured in head-on collision
Four men were injured early today in a head-on collision involving a sports utility vehicle and a Frito-Lay of Hawaii delivery truck on Salt Lake Boulevard near Aliamanu Park.
One of the men, a rear-seat passenger in the sports utility vehicle, was taken to The Queen's Medical Center, where his condition was reclassified from serious to critical. The collision was reported to police at 2:55 a.m.
Police Capt. Clayton Saito said a 1999 Mitsubishi sports utility vehicle made a right turn onto Salt Lake Boulevard from Pakini Street and crossed over a double-solid line into the path of the eastbound Frito-Lay truck.
The driver of the sports utility vehicle, 20, was treated for a sore leg and bump on the head. A front-seat passenger refused treatment at the scene for a bump on the head.
The three men in the sports utility vehicle are in the military and assigned to Pearl Harbor, police said.
The driver of the Frito-Lay truck, 35, was treated at Queen's for minor injuries and released.
