Maui, HI (September 9, 2024) – A multi-vehicle crash occurred on Sunday evening, September 8, and local officers with the Maui Police Department (MPD) reported to the scene to investigate.

Shortly before 10:15 p.m., emergency responders were sent to the scene. The incident apparently involved two vehicles in the area of Ka’ahumanu Avenue by Maui Lani Parkway in Wailuku. MPD officers and Engine 1/Maui Fire Department squads responded, along with regional medics, and transported those requiring further care to area hospitals, but the total number of injured victims involved in the incident is unclear. That said, the circumstances of the accident are currently being investigated by the police, and further details will be made available as the inquiry progresses.

Our thoughts are extended to the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery.

Injury Vehicle Accidents in Maui

Motor vehicle collisions that result in injuries, particularly involving multiple motorists, are a serious issue in the United States and throughout the state of Hawaii. In fact, hundreds of car crashes are reported annually in Hawaii, and these incidents cause thousands of people to sustain injuries. Furthermore, every year, more than six million car wrecks are reported nationwide, most of which are caused by driver negligence. Tragically, it is the victims and their families who pay after such an incident.

Driver negligence can be proven in countless ways, and a number of these careless actions cause accidents. However, the most common are speeding, intoxication, distraction, and fatigue. Drivers who pay attention to their phones, the radio, other people in their cars, and anything other than the roadway while operating their motor vehicles put themselves and everyone else at risk for serious injuries or even fatalities. For example, in one recent year, over 11,000 people were killed due to auto accidents caused by speeding. Speeding is one of the most dangerous types of driver negligence because it leaves drivers no time to stop in case of an accident and increases the dangers and risk of catastrophic injuries in the case of a crash.
