Honolulu, HI – One Seriously Injured in Crash on Lualualei Homestead Rd

Honolulu, HI (October 16, 2025) – A devastating early morning crash in Leeward Oahu left at least one person with severe injuries on Thursday, October 16. The collision happened around 5:52 a.m. on Lualualei Homestead Road, according to the Honolulu Police Department.

Witnesses said two cars collided with devastating force, scattering debris across the roadway. The impact trapped one driver inside the vehicle.

Emergency crews arrived within minutes. Firefighters used hydraulic rescue tools to free the trapped victim. Paramedics gave lifesaving care at the scene before rushing at least one person to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. Doctors confirmed the injuries are severe and will require extensive care and long-term rehabilitation.

Officials closed part of the roadway for several hours while they examined the scene. Investigators marked skid lines, collected debris, and interviewed witnesses to piece together how the collision happened. Authorities are still investigating whether speeding, distraction, or reckless driving caused the crash.

The investigation remains active.

We wish those injured a full and swift recovery.
