Nanakuli, HI – One Killed, Two Injured in Crash on Farrington Hwy
October 30, 2025
Nanakuli, HI (October 30, 2025) – A tragic crash claimed the life of a 19-year-old woman and left two others seriously injured on Wednesday morning, October 29, in Nanakuli. The collision occurred around 4:40 a.m on Farrington Highway, according to the Honolulu Police Department.
Investigators reported that a 22-year-old woman drove along Farrington Highway when she struck a 37-year-old man’s car while merging. The impact caused the man to lose control, sending his vehicle spinning toward two women who were walking across the road inside a marked crosswalk.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene. Paramedics treated the victims at the site before transporting them to nearby hospitals for emergency care. Doctors confirmed that the 37-year-old driver and a 42-year-old pedestrian suffered serious injuries. The 19-year-old pedestrian sustained critical trauma and later died at the hospital despite lifesaving efforts.
The 22-year-old driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Officers from the Honolulu Police Department’s Traffic Division closed the road for several hours while they collected evidence and documented the scene. Police said they are still reviewing whether speed, distraction, or driver inattention contributed to the crash.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family of the young woman who lost her life. Our hearts are also with those injured, and we wish them a full and swift recovery.
Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Hawaii
Pedestrian accidents are among the most devastating types of crashes in Hawaii. Busy roads like Farrington Highway are especially dangerous for people walking near traffic, where visibility and reaction time can make the difference between safety and tragedy.
Common causes of serious pedestrian accidents include:
- Speeding or reckless driving that limits a driver’s ability to stop in time.
- Distracted driving, often from texting or using navigation apps.
- Drunk or impaired driving that slows judgment and reaction.
- Poor lighting and unsafe crosswalks that make pedestrians harder to see.
- Drivers failing to yield or obey traffic signals at intersections.
When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, the outcome is often catastrophic. Victims may suffer brain injuries, spinal damage, or internal bleeding, and in many cases, these injuries can be fatal. For families who lose a loved one, the loss feels unbearable.
Beyond the emotional pain, families also face overwhelming financial burdens. Medical expenses, funeral costs, and the sudden loss of income can make recovery even harder. A brave wrongful death lawyer can help hold negligent drivers accountable and secure the compensation families need to rebuild their lives.
