KUNIA, HI -A pedestrian died after being struck by a vehicle in the Kunia area, according to the Honolulu Police Department.

The pedestrian was transported by Emergency Medical Services to an area hospital in critical condition, and was pronounced dead two days later. The driver was not injured and stayed at the scene.
