Car accident in Honolulu
HONOLULU, HI - Police said a woman has died of injuries suffered in a hit-and-run crash in the Waipahu area last month.

In a news release, the Honolulu Police Department said the victim was a 54-year-old woman who was a passenger in the Aug. 30 wreck.  The department was notified by the Honolulu Medical Examiner's Office Sept. 8 that the woman had passed away.

The collision occurred about 1 a.m. on the H-1 Freeway.  An initial investigation found that an unidentified motorist was heading eastbound when the vehicle traveled into the right shoulder and rear-ended a vehicle which was parked there. After the crash, the unidentified motorist kept going east on the freeway and onto the Pearl City off-ramp without stopping to help or provide information.

The 54-year-old woman, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was a rear passenger in the vehicle that was struck.  She was taken to an area hospital in critical condition.

Anyone with further information regarding the incident was asked to contact the Honolulu Police Department.
