Honolulu, HI – Car Accident w/Injuries at Pensacola & Kinau Sts

Honolulu, HI (June 17, 2024) – A car crash happened on Monday, June 17, at about 3:50 p.m. at Pensacola Street and Kinau Street, and it resulted in at least one injury, according to local authorities.

At least one person was transported after multiple vehicles collided near the intersection. EMTs and local police responded just before 4:00 p.m. It’s unclear if other victims were injured and treated at the hospital. Currently, the officers’ inquiry has not established if drugs, alcohol, or speed were involved, though an investigation remains ongoing.

Our thoughts are with those injured in hopes of their full recovery.

Motor Vehicle Accidents in Hawaii

Transportation authorities establish goals to decrease traffic deaths on Hawaii highways annually. We aim for zero. However, according to the most recent data on vehicle accidents, the state has a long way to go before it achieves that objective. Reports indicate that in only the first quarter of a particular year, 25 people lost their lives in Hawaii. That was almost twice as many as the prior year for the same time frame. Based on the data that is now available, Hawaii is not expected to accomplish its target targets for reducing deaths and severe injuries, according to the Department of Transportation’s existing Highway Safety Plan.

What’s more, it is often quite difficult to get back on your feet after suffering injuries in a vehicle accident, given the physical and emotional stress during the aftermath. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other serious injuries often necessitate long periods of recovery and taxing medical treatment. Of course, victims and their loved ones frequently find it difficult to pick up the pieces after suffering injuries. After all, when you can’t do the things you love and can’t earn a living wage, your life is likely to change drastically. Many sorts of damages may be compensable to you after an accident, depending on how bad it was. Some of these may include:

• Medical bills
• Vehicle repair costs
• Lost wages or loss of future earning capacity

Oahu regularly experiences the most traffic fatalities. In addition to car accidents, Oahu has a higher rate of motorbike accidents and pedestrian collisions than the other islands in Hawaii.
