The baby boy suffered "critical, life-threatening injuries" and was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center. The accident occurred at 8:10 a.m.

Speed and alcohol are not suspected to be involved, police said. Maui police are investigating what is being classified as a near-fatal pedestrian accident.
