A 32-year-old man died from injuries he sustained in a hit-and-run crash in the Ala Moana area.
Paul I. Andrews of Honolulu died May 29 of blunt impact to the head in the collision with a Volkswagen car two days earlier.
At about 12:05 a.m. May 27, police said, Andrews was traveling Diamond Head-bound on Kapiolani Boulevard on a moped when a Volkswagen operated by a 46-year-old man made a left turn onto Atkinson Drive, directly in Andrews’ path.

The Volkswagen driver fled the scene, but police located him later that day. Police arrested the 46-year-old man on suspicion of operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant and failing to render aid.
