Honolulu what is happening here? Another woman was struck down in a crosswalk Tuesday morning? The epidemic of crosswalk injuries and deaths seems out of control to me.

According a KHNL news report Tuesday morning at the corner of Piikoi and King Streets a 23 year old woman was struck by a vehicle driven by a 65 year old woman. The victim went under the car and was trapped their for several minutes. The 23 year old victim is in critical condition in Queens Medical Center.

The police do not know why the 65 year old woman did not stop for the pedestrian and the offending driver was also taken to the hospital for observation.

I have reported several other similar pedestrian injuries I represent victims of this senseless carnage. Is it speeding? Are pedestrians taking unwarranted risks? What is it Honolulu? I have no answers.

I am the 23 year old that was struck, and I was taking no risk, other than walking outside. The walk signal was on, I had checked that cars had stopped, and I was already into the second lane (halfway across Piikoi) when got nailed out of nowhere...she didn't even know she hit me until people heard me screaming from under the car and stopped her. What's worse is she has crappy insurance and I have no way to recoup my losses -- I'll be lucky to get my medical bills paid, no luck to recover personal property loss and the wages I'm not earning -- I won't even be able to pay rent...all because someone was OBVIOUSLY oblivious to her surroundings...drivers like her need to not be on the road, or ALWAYS REMAIN VIGILANT...I didn't appear from nowhere or jump out in front of her... I think people get wrapped up in the daily grind and go on auto pilot, which can be deadly to those around them. I'm sad for what's happened to me...23 and barely able to walk...but for the fact that this happens all the time.
