Maui, HI – Victims Hurt in Hit-and-Run on Hana Hwy in Kuau

Maui, HI (January 4, 2025) – A vehicle crash involving at least two motorists occurred early on Saturday morning, January 4, and local officers with the Maui Police Department (MPD) reported to the site to investigate.

Just after midnight, emergency responders were sent to the scene. The incident involved two cars, including a white Ford Taurus that fled the site, which apparently collided for unknown reasons at the Hana Highway by Kuau store in Kuau. A handful of possible 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.

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

Motor Vehicle Accidents in Maui

All types of motor vehicle collisions are a serious issue in the United States and throughout the state of Hawaii. In fact, close to 10,000 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.

Driver negligence can be displayed in countless ways. 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.
