A 43-year-old man has died after he was struck by a vehicle in Waipahu over the weekend. Identification is pending.

At about 6:50 p.m. Sunday, police said, a vehicle operated by a 32-year-old man was traveling south on Mokuola Street when the vehicle struck the pedestrian near the intersection of Mokuola and Waipahu streets.

Emergency Medical Services transported him to an area hospital in critical condition and upgraded to serious condition. While at the hospital, police said, the pedestrian’s condition worsened, and he was later pronounced dead.

It’s unknown whether excessive speed was involved or whether he was in a crosswalk.

This is the year’s 40th traffic-related fatality on Oahu, compared with 47 at the same time last year.

Fatality in Rainbow Falls incident identified

Hawaii island police have identified the woman who died after plunging over Rainbow Falls as Gladys Novinger, 62, of Spring Valley, Calif.

Search teams continued Monday to look for a man, 61, who also went over the cascade after falling into the Wailuku River above Hilo. But the search was suspended at 10 a.m. due to heavy rain and the risk of flash flooding, the Hawaii County Fire Department said.

At 12:39 p.m. Saturday police and fire personnel responded to Rainbow Falls State Park for a report of a couple who fell into the water while crossing the river above the falls.

The woman was found in the pool below the falls and was extricated by the Fire Department’s helicopter. She was then taken by ambulance to the Hilo Medical Center, where she died at 4:25 p.m.

The missing man has not yet been located, and search efforts were suspended as of Sunday afternoon due to dangerous conditions. His identity is being withheld pending notification of his next of kin.

Detectives with the Criminal Investigation Section are continuing the investigation into the woman’s death as unattended. An autopsy was conducted Monday, but the cause of her death is being deferred pending toxicology results.

Anyone who has information about the incident is asked to call the Police Department’s nonemergency line at 935-3311 or Detective Dean Uyetake at 961-2379.
