Police traffic investigators said a white Dodge van was traveling north-bound on Kamehameha Highway when it drifted across the center line and struck a blue Honda sedan nearly head on about 9:10 p.m.

The 38-year-old North shore woman, the baby's grandmother, was driving the Honda and was airlifted to The Queen's Medical Center in serious condition along with the baby, who was listed in critical condition upon arrival at Queen's. The baby was being transported in the Honda in a child restraint seat that was placed in the front passenger seat, police said.

City paramedics said the baby was not breathing when they arrived but revived after CPR was performed on her.

The 55-year-old man from the North shore who was driving the van was also flown to Queen's and was listed in serious condition upon his arrival, police said. Two passengers in the van, a 12-year-old boy and 20-year-old man, were taken to Wahiawa General Hospital and were reported to be in fair condition.

Accident investigators said speed and alcohol appear to be factors in the case.
