Maui, HI (December 18, 2024) – A vehicle crash involving at least two motorists occurred on Tuesday evening, December 17, and local officers with the Maui Police Department (MPD) reported to the site to investigate.

Shortly before 11:30 p.m., emergency responders were sent to the scene. The incident involved two cars, which collided for unknown reasons around the 2400 block of South Kihei Road in Kihei. The vehicles were blocking the roadway, and possible victim injuries were recorded.

MPD officers and Maui Fire Department rescue teams responded 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 police are currently investigating the circumstances of the accident, and further details will be made available as the inquiry progresses.

Motor Vehicle Accidents in Maui

In the United States and the state of Hawaii, all forms of motor vehicle collisions are a serious concern. In reality, Hawaii experiences nearly 10,000 car accidents each year, which result in the injuries of thousands of individuals. Additionally, the majority of the over six million auto accidents that are reported annually in the United States are the result of driver negligence.

For example, drivers who divert their attention from the roadway while operating their motor vehicles to their phones, the radio, other passengers in their vehicles, or any other distraction while operating their vehicles are putting themselves and others at risk of serious injuries or even fatalities. For instance, speeding-related automobile incidents resulted in the deaths of more than 11,000 individuals in a single year. In the event of an accident, speeding is one of the most perilous forms of driver negligence, as it results in a lack of time for drivers to halt and increases the likelihood of catastrophic injuries.
