Police closed part of Farrington Highway at Laaloa Street because of a crash.

Police closed part of Farrington Highway for close to four hours today to investigate a fatal multiple-vehicle crash near Honokai Hale.

An Emergency Medical Services report said a 60-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene after the crash at about 3:40 p.m.

Paramedics treated two other patients, a 48-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man, from the collision and took them to a hospital in serious condition.

Police closed both town-bound lanes and one Waianae-bound lane on Farrington at Laaloa Street shortly before 4 p.m.

“I saw on the far left two cars in the bushes,” said passerby Jason Laquihon.

“There was also a minivan in the middle of the road with the front end smashed.”

Laquihon, who was driving west on the H-1, said one of the cars had the front driver-side roof smashed in.

He said three ambulances from the Campbell area responded to the accident.

Police reopened traffic flow at about 7:30 p.m.
