Pedestrian Collisions in Hawaii

Motor vehicle accidents claim the lives of a considerable number of pedestrians throughout the state of Hawaii. Unfortunately, drivers who disregard traffic restrictions are usually the cause of these incidents. In terms of distracted driving, texting and driving is becoming a serious issue in the US, contributing to millions of collisions and injuries annually.
