Woman dies following highway collision
A 35-year-old Kapaa woman died from injuries sustained Tuesday when her SUV was rear-ended by a pickup truck in Princeville, Kauai.
Kauai County officials were not disclosing the name of the woman until relatives are notified.
Officials said the woman was traveling north on Kuhio Highway in a green Ford sport utility vehicle when the SUV was rear-ended by a white Ford pickup truck at about 10:15 a.m. Police said the driver of the truck, a 43-year-old Kalaheo man, sustained minor injuries and refused treatment.
Help sought to find man wanted in assault
CrimeStoppers and the Honolulu Police Department are seeking the public’s help in locating a man who allegedly tried to force a 19-year-old woman into his truck last month in Ewa Beach.
Police said that at 11 a.m. April 23, the woman was walking on Renton Road toward Asing Park when a man pulled alongside and offered her a ride. The man parked his vehicle after she ignored him and followed her on foot, police said. The woman kicked him after he attempted to slow her down by grabbing her arm.
The suspect is described as a man in his 40s weighing about 200 pounds, with black hair.
The vehicle is described as a white Toyota Tacoma Quad Cab with tinted windows with three large capital "K" stickers with a floral design on the rear window.
