Driver sought in hit-and-run incident

Advertiser Staff

CrimeStoppers and the Honolulu Police Department are seeking the public's assistance in finding a driver and vehicle wanted for failing to render aid at an accident.

At about 6:30 p.m. Saturday, a vehicle struck a pedestrian in a crosswalk at the intersection of Farrington Highway and Waiomea Street.

The vehicle fled afterward and continued west on Farrington Highway. The victim was taken to a hospital in serious condition with a broken leg.

The vehicle is described as a newer Ford full-size pickup truck, light colored and possibly silver, with an engine crane device in the rear bed. The passenger-side rear-view mirror was left at the scene.

Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at

955-8300, or *CRIME on a cellular phone. Free cellular calls are provided by AT&T, Nextel Hawaii, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless Hawaii.

CrimeStoppers pays up to $1,000 for information that leads to the arrest of suspects.

All calls are confidential and anonymous. Perpetrators and crime victims are ineligible for CrimeStoppers rewards.
