Man hurt in incident involving pickup truck

A man suffered a leg injury Tuesday after he was hit by a pickup truck allegedly driven by his girlfriend in an apparent attempted murder in Kahaluu.

Police said the man was hurt in a crash near the Hygienic Store, in the 47-520 block of Kamehameha Highway, at about 2:25 p.m. The man was standing about six feet away from the pickup when the driver hit the gas and pinned the man’s leg against a wall, emergency dispatch reports said.

Police said the man and his girlfriend were arguing when the incident happened.

Paramedics took a 42-year-old man in serious condition to the hospital, an Emergency Medical Services supervisor said. Police detained a suspect and opened an attempted-murder case.
