4 Critically Injured In Kauai Crash
A two-car collision on Kauai critically injured four people on Thursday.
It happened at about 10 a.m. at the intersection of Kuhio Highway and Wailapa Road.
A 20-year-old Kapaa man driving a station wagon on Kuhio Highway crossed the centerline and hit the van traveling in the opposite direction, police said.
Firefighters had to free the drivers, who were pinned in their vehicles.
Two of the injured, a 39-year old male and a 12-year-old male from Riverside, Calif., underwent surgery at Wilcox Hospital. Four other family members who were in the van were treated and released.
The Kapaa man was treated at Wilcox Hospital then transferred to Queen's Medical Center on Oahu.
A 51-year-old Kauai woman, who was in the station wagon, was last reported in critical condition at Wilcox Hospital.
Speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in this crash, investigators said.
