A Coast Guard C-130 air crew flew a 25-year-old man from Maui to O'ahu this morning after a head-on motor-vehicle collision on Maui.

Coast Guard officials said they received a call from a state Department of Health official about a man who was injured in a 3:45 a.m. accident.

A Coast Guard C-130 long-range search aircraft crew from Air Station Barbers Point was en route to Kahului International Airport with a disaster medical assist team at 6:15 a.m. to pick up the man. The crew returned to Honolulu International Airport, where city Emergency Medical Services personnel took the man by ambulance to The Queen's Medical Center.

The inter-island rescue effort was coordinated between a Coast Guard flight surgeon, a Department of Health doctor and JRCC watch standers.
