Honolulu, HI (July 14, 2024) – A car crash happened on Sunday afternoon, July 14, at about 1:55 p.m. along Queen Street and Waimanu Street, which resulted in at least one injury, according to local authorities.

At least one person was transported after multiple vehicles collided near the intersection.

Motor Vehicle Accidents in Hawaii

Hawaii sees hundreds of serious car accidents annually, especially those that result in injuries to the victims. Regretfully, thousands of excruciating bodily and psychological traumas occur in Hawaii as a result of these incidents each year. Negligent drivers often cause injuries to others when they share the road. Cars are more prone to behave recklessly and endanger other motorists when they have little regard for other cars around them. Sadly, there are all too many examples of careless driving, including speeding, driving while intoxicated, and texting people on mobile phones.

Transportation authorities establish goals annually to decrease traffic deaths on Hawaii highways and 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 much as the prior year for the same time frame.

Adding insult to injury, recovering from auto accident injuries is typically quite difficult. There is left behind mental and bodily hardship for many wounded parties. Prolonged medical care may be necessary for severe spinal cord injuries, brain damage, and other serious injuries. Regretfully, it is often difficult for wounded people and their families to move on.
