Honolulu, HI (May 23, 2025) – A man in his 70s was rescued after being trapped in a car from an early morning crash involving two cars in Mililani.
The Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) was dispatched to a Kamehameha Highway crash near Kipapa Gulch at 4:43 a.m. on Friday, May 23. Once firefighters arrived at the scene, paramedics had already begun to respond to the collision involving two cars with a 76-year-old man trapped in a car.
In order to rescue them, HFD stabilized the vehicle and used hydraulic rescue tools to safely remove them. They were able to successfully remove him, and at 5:21 a.m., paramedics treated him for his serious injuries. The circumstances involved in this crash, such as the cause and possible factors, have not been reported by police yet. At this time, the crash is under investigation, and witnesses were asked to get in touch with local law enforcement officials.
