that intersection has a lot of whacko pedestrians
please stay in the crosswalk!
Dude wasn’t even close to the crosswalk as the truck hit him on the top of the overpass.
+1. As I said below – I drive that stretch several nights a week. Don’t understand why people run across the bridge in the center above the freeway so often. It’s a bridge – no real advantage to crossing Keeaumoku overpass in the middle. Kinau St end has cross walks and lights where you can safely cross. YMMV.
Is anyone proofing the titles: “Makiki pedestrian collision leaves man in critical condition”? This title implies that two or more pedestrians collided into one another and one was injured.
The entire area of Keeaumoku St down to Ala Moana Center is dangerous. I drive that stretch 4-5 nights a week to pick up a friend from work. Difficult to see pedestrians crossing – in or out of crosswalks. Drunk, homeless or just plain careless – people walk or run across the road without regard to traffic.
I drive and, especially at night, try to keep an eye out for shadows or people outlined by auto and street lighting. Not easy – especially if they are wearing dark clothing.
About that – what’s up with people walking or jogging at night in dark clothes? Almost impossible to see at times. Haven’t hit anyone yet – peripheral vision at night is better at picking up movement and that’s what prevented several potential accidents. YMMV
Wander randomly across a busy street like a deer in headlights and you become road kill….Fact of life.
