HONOLULU (KHON2) — Honolulu police are investigating an early morning critical moped accident in Kaimuki.
HPD said the crash happened around 1 a.m. on Kapiolani Boulevard when a 34-year-old woman lost control of her moped, slid and was thrown onto the road.
Paramedics responded to the incident and brought her to an area hospital in serious condition.
Officials said her condition further deteriorated and she was later listed in critical condition.
As the summer months approach, Honolulu police urge the community to drive safely.
So far in 2025, Oahu has seen 27 traffic fatalities compared to 11 at the same time in 2024.
The period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is known as the “100 Deadliest Days of Summer,” when school is out and more people are on the roads.
Fortunately, here in Hawaii, we have not seen a significant spike during those 100 days. However, I think that’s a perfect time to segway itno the fact that we are having a horrible year. So if everyone does their part, maybe we can make this the 100 safest days on Oahu.
