Honolulu police cars are seen on the H-3 freeway before the tunnel at about 10:30 p.m. last night after police closed the Kaneohe-bound lanes of the freeway.
A 29-year-old Ewa Beach man riding a motorcycle is in critical condition after crashing into the rear of a SUV on the H-3 freeway Saturday night, Honolulu police said.
The man was traveling northbound on the H-3 near Halawa around 9:25 p.m. when he collided into a SUV in front of him at a high rate of speed, police said.
Both occupants in the SUV, a 37-year-old Honolulu man and a 34-year-old Kaneohe man, were taken to the hospital in good condition.
Speed is believed to be a factor, police said.
The Ewa Beach man was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision, police said.
Police closed all Kaneohe-bound lanes of the H-3 for about four hours to investigate the scene.

What an informative story.
SA is lazy. They famously pay very little for news coverage. It is all about the ads hon.
aggressive, irresponsible operators on the road need to be heavily fined.
And why did that happen?
Why?
What kind of news is this?? Why was the road closed?? Was there something serious that the public should know?? Boy slowly the Star staff are releasing news items that do not mean anything or do not make sense.
“What kind of news is this??”
Kind of a standard for an accident report.
“Why was the road closed??”
The last sentence: “Police closed all Kaneohe-bound lanes of the H-3 for about four hours to investigate the scene.” Does this not say why the road was closed?
“Boy slowly the Star staff are releasing news items that do not mean anything or do not make sense.”
This story made plenty of sense. What part could you possibly find unclear?
It must be hard to find good help.
I guess the writers had to get ready for the Super Bowl. Had to write something fast. But as for us the public no waste our time by posting a shallow article.
Awesome reporting!
This just in: 7-11 is open 24/7.
Now you tell me.
Once upon a time…….The End.
This just in. Driver turned on his left turn signal before turning left from the left turn lane.
Looks like they just updated the story with the “why”. Could have posted a general “why” earlier. Something like “due to accident”.
Motocycles speed on the H3 all the time, so not a surprise there’s a crash on there pretty much every other week, especially with so many military personnel owning bikes.

This isn’t even newsworthy. Motorcycle a-hole wipes out. News? Not. At least he had a helmet and wasn’t exercising his First Amendment “rights” to not wear one…
I prefer that reckless speeding motorcyclists don’t wear helmets. At least it reduces the chance that they will endanger the public the next time to zero.
Dear SA: I know it’s early and you have many things to think about. (mostly involving grown men arguing about an inflated bladder) But really, “collided into” is, at the very best, a really clumsy non-standard grammatical construction in American English. One may “collide with” or simply “collide.” I know it’s picky but once you slide down the slippery grammatical slope, there’s no turning back. Oh, and don’t forget, for future reference, that “careen” and “career” used as verbs, are two entirely different propositions.
Remember my mantra: “Spell-check” is not a synonym for “Editing.”
Lighten up, Francis.
Uh, tell me again why anyone should tolerate sloppy writing in the only newspaper in town?
It’s a dirty job … but somebody’s got tuh do it.
This one time I will defend the SA. The key descrption the writer was trying to convey with the term ‘collided into the SUV’ was that thie motorcyclist was 100% at fault. If the SUV in front suddenly slowed down or stopped unexpectedly then the SUV would be at fault but the motorcyclist with his excessive speed did the ‘colliding into’. I’ve seen similar YouTube videos of reckless speeding motorcylists hitting cars and trucks from behind because their speed differential is so great and they usually go ‘splat’.
Neither “careen” nor “career” appear at all in this piece — so I’m not sure where this criticism came from. How is either word a “proposition?” While we’re there, why capitalize “spell-check” and “editing?”
Nobody’s perfect.
