Motorcyclist hurt in freeway crash
A 59-year-old motorcyclist from Kapolei was in critical condition Sunday afternoon after crashing into a guardrail on the Moanalua Freeway.
According to police, the man was seen racing his 1997 Harley-Davidson motorcycle through traffic against a red 2010 Dodge Charger shortly before the crash.
The man was thrown from the motorcycle upon impact. He was transported to the Queen’s Medical Center by Emergency Medical Services.
The Charger fled the scene.

The westbound lanes were closed for about two hours following the crash, creating a massive traffic jam.
