Man, 38, arrested after Ala Moana hit-and-run

Honolulu police have arrested a 38-year-old man after an alleged hit-and-run crash on Ala Moana Boulevard that left one of his juvenile passengers with serious injuries.

Police said at about 10:48 a.m. on Monday, the man was heading west on Ala Moana when he rear-ended another car driven by a 42-year-old man at a stop in traffic near Atkinson Drive. The rear-ended car, which police did not describe, had three passengers, including a woman and two juveniles.

The 38-year-old driver fled the scene without rendering aid. Police said he was located shortly afterward and arrested for suspicion of a collision involving substantial bodily injury, police said.

One of his passengers, a juvenile, was injured and taken to a hospital in serious condition. The vehicle also had three other passengers — two men, ages 28 and 39, and another juvenile.

Police said speed, drugs and alcohol do not appear to be contributing factors.
