Grand jury indicts woman in fatal hit-and-run accident

HONOLULU POLICE DEPARTMENT / SEPT. 18, 2014
Francine Marshall-Wun, 47, was charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident and operating a vehicle without a valid driver license.

An Oahu grand jury returned an indictment Tuesday against the alleged driver in a hit-and-run accident that killed a 58-year-old man in Waianae last September.

The indictment charges Francine Marshall-Wun, 47, with leaving the scene of a fatal accident and operating a vehicle without a valid driver license.

Honolulu police said Robert Kapololu, Jr. was found lying near the Waianae Taco Bell Restaurant on Farrington Highway just after midnight Sept. 16 last year.

A city ambulance crew took Kapololu to Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center in extremely critical condition where he later died. The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office says Kapololu died of multiple blunt force injuries.

Police say Marshall-Wun was driving the pickup truck that struck Kapololu and then left the scene. They located and arrested her at Waianae Boat Harbor nearby.

Just two months before the fatal collision, Marshall-Wun pleaded no contest to driving without a license for which she spent two days in jail.
