The truck driver suffered minor injuries and was transported to Wilcox Hospital. Police said the female driver and passenger of the sedan were treated at the scene. They were from Kapaa as well, and their ages are not known at this time. Paramedics transported the two to Wilcox Hospital where they were evaluated and released.
