Officers seek driver who caused collision
Police are looking for a man who caused a three-car accident Saturday night while fleeing authorities in a stolen van.
Officers attempted to stop the 2001 Dodge Caravan after identifying it as a stolen vehicle, police said. However, the van continued Ewa down Lunalilo Street, ran a red light at the intersection of Lunalilo and Ward Avenue and collided with a 2008 Ford pickup truck driven by a 49-year-old man.
The impact sent the truck, which was headed north on Ward, into an oncoming 2011 Honda SUV driven by a 53-year-old man.
The driver of the van fled the scene on foot.
Neither of the other two drivers was hurt. However, a 39-year-old woman riding in the Honda was injured. She was taken to a hospital in good condition.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the driver of the van is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 955-8300.

A 52-year-old driver involved in a two-car collision on School Street crashed her vehicle through a chain-link fence, with the car ending up on the Ewa-bound lanes of the H-1 freeway Sunday morning.
The driver had no life-threatening injuries but firefighters stabilized her for possible neck and back injuries, Fire Capt. Rick Karasaki said. "She avoided a big one," Karasaki said.
Paramedics were called at 10:04 a.m. and took the woman to a hospital in stable condition, emergency services officials said. The driver of the other car declined treatment, Karasaki said.
