A 53-year-old Waianae woman died Saturday night after losing control of her car and crashing into a power pole, Honolulu police said.
The crash happened around 11:30 p.m. on Waianae Valley Road, about 200 feet north of Plantation Road.
The woman was traveling southbound on Waianae Valley Road when she traveled into the shoulder lane and collided into a pole.
Speed, alcohol and drugs appear to be contributing factors, police said.
This is the Oahu’s 31st traffic fatality, compared to 30 at the same time last year.
Good to hear that she will no longer be endangering the public by driving after drinking and doing drugs. The only downside to the Darwinian effect is that innocent lives have the potential to be impacted…
good riddance
Your compassion is…whelming.
i’d have compassion if the lady wasn’t speeding and driving drunk..luckily she never kill your family member..then we’d see if you had compassion for this woman or anyone who drinks and drives
Rest in peace, Auntie. I’ve driven that road many times; it’s not a treacherous one. The curves are gentle and doesn’t sneak up on you, even while driving a van. There are no cloverleaf road bends. The sad reminders of fatal accidents are the local-style markers of old flowers, toys and mementos of past horrific accidents. Sad.
Waianae is too far to drive to. Nevah put on da kine seat belt, no?
A bad weekend for poles!
Has anybody noticed how many poles along H-1 around Kapolei area have dents in them? I started noticing after one pole was knocked down. I thought the west side people had a new sport trying to knock down light poles. Then I noticed it’s everywhere – In Mililani some guys knocked down a few light poles and even a fire hydrant. All likely due to paying more attention to cell phones instead of DRIVING!
looking for pokemon..gotta catch em all
Westside hit poles,townie hit senior citizens.
Speed, alcohol AND drugs appear to be contributing factors? Well if that isn’t the Ainokea trifecta I don’t know what is. Was she trying to kill herself or is this just her normal behavior? Anyways good riddance to bad rubbish. The world’s a better place without this trash. Hope the pole’s okay though.
Police said speed, alcohol and drugs appear to be contributing factors, R.I.P Auntie.
Beating the record?? YEAH!!! Let’s go, HNL!!!! Looking forward to a banner year!!
Sober or not, people drive too fast on Waianae Valley road. Slow down, your on an island, no matter how fast you drive, you will still be on an island. Kind of like driving in a circle, if you think about it.
