September 11, 2026
Honolulu, HI (September 11, 2026) – A 29-year-old man was seriously injured after a vehicle struck him early Thursday morning, September 10, at Dole Street and University Avenue near UH Mānoa.
The crash prompted an emergency response from Honolulu Police and EMS around 5:45 a.m. According to a witness who stopped to help, a woman was turning south onto University Ave when she did not see the pedestrian and struck him.
The witness reported that the man suffered serious injuries, including injuries to his right ear and leg. The man also appeared to experience a medical episode shortly after the crash, according to the witness.
The circumstances surrounding the collision remain under investigation.
We hope the injured man receives the care needed for a full recovery.
What Evidence Should Be Preserved After a Pedestrian Injury Claim in Hawaii?
One of the most important things to know when it comes to evidence, is that some of it can become harder to obtain as time passes, so early preservation is a key part of evaluating a pedestrian injury claim.
Photographs of the scene, damaged clothing and personal property, and pictures that document visible injuries can help preserve information that may later change or disappear. It can also be useful to keep the items involved in their original condition rather than repairing, discarding, or replacing them before their relevance is understood.
Witness information may be just as crucial. Names, contact information, written observations, and any photographs or videos taken by bystanders can provide details that may not appear elsewhere. Memories can fade, so victims should preserve witness accounts early to help document what a person observed before the events become less clear.
Electronic evidence may also require prompt attention. Nearby businesses, residences, or other properties may have security cameras, while traffic systems or private vehicles could contain video or data relevant to the events leading up to an accident. Some recordings are routinely overwritten, so identifying potential sources quickly can be important.
A pedestrian accident lawyer in Honolulu can assist with efforts to identify and preserve relevant evidence before it is lost.
In Hawaii, the evidence available can affect how fault, damages, and the extent of claimed losses are evaluated, which makes organized documentation valuable throughout the claims process.
