Police looking for witnesses in Kaimuki hit-and-run
Police are asking the public for help in finding the hit-and-run driver who injured a 94-year-old pedestrian on Waialae Avenue on Jan. 3.
Witnesses are being asked to come forward in the case, which is being investigated as a failure to render aid.
The elderly man was hit at about 7:37 a.m. as he was crossing Waialae Avenue near 5th Avenue. The driver of a vehicle traveling east on Waialae Avenue reportedly ran a red light and failed to stop.
The car is described as a green four-door sedan with damages to the passenger side windshield. The vehicle was seen fleeing eastbound on Waialae.
The elderly victim suffered head and internal injuries and was taken to a hospital, where he was reported in critical condition last week. No updates on his condition were available.
