Mo-ped driver, 17, injured in accident
A 17-year-old boy was in critical condition after his mo-ped collided with a truck late Tuesday night.
At about 11:15 p.m. the boy was makai-bound at a high rate of speed on Kalihi Street, with the headlight turned off, police said. A 2001 Ford F-150 pickup truck, driven by a 48-year-old Kalihi man, was headed mauka and making a left turn onto Kaumualii Street when it collided with the mo-ped, police said.
The boy, from Kalihi, suffered head, limb and internal injuries and was taken in critical condition to the Queen's Medical Center. The truck driver was not injured, and police determined that speed, alcohol or drugs were not factors on his part.
Police said speed was a factor on the part of the boy, and investigators are trying to determine whether alcohol or drugs were also factors. The boy was not wearing a helmet, police said.
