Honolulu police are investigating a multiple vehicle crash that happened on Ala Wai Blvd. early Sunday morning between Kalakaua Ave. and Ala Moana Blvd.

HPD Sgt. James Chong said a 34-year-old man struck about 17 vehicles around 12:17 a.m. The man was injured and taken to a hospital for treatment following the incident.

Chong said alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor in the crash.

Police have not yet arrested the man, as they continue to investigate the incident. However, Chong said HPD has opened an operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant case as well as cases involving damages to vehicles, “like a hit-and-run.”
