Barriers were blocking the entrance to the emergency runaway truck ramp on Likelike Highway when an out-of-control tow truck crashed into 10 vehicles and injured four motorists June 12, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in state court.

Christina Braddock filed the lawsuit on behalf of herself and her husband, James Braddock, who is described in the lawsuit as incapacitated. The lawsuit names as defendants the driver of the tow truck, identified in the lawsuit as Misty Mitchell; the truck’s owner, Pinky Tows Hawaii; and the State of Hawaii for failing to maintain the runaway truck ramp.

James Braddock, 31, who was driving a 2015 Ford Fiesta, was transported in critical condition by a city ambulance to The Queen’s Medical Center. A family representative who set up a GoFundMe page to assist with his medical expenses said Braddock sustained injuries to his brain and spine.

Two other drivers and a passenger in another car also were injured in the crash.

Pinky Tows General Manager Jeanette Grace issued a public statement June 13 apologizing to those involved in the “unfortunate accident.” She said the company is cooperating with authorities investigating the crash and prays the injured make full and speedy recoveries.

Mitchell could not be reached to comment on the lawsuit.

A state Department of Transportation spokeswoman said the agency does not comment on active litigation.
