A 26-year-old Mililani woman was arrested for investigation of three felony counts related to an early morning traffic collision yesterday in Kapahulu that left six people injured, two critically.
Speed and alcohol appear to be factors on the part of the suspect driver in the 2:40 a.m. collision at the intersection of Campbell Avenue and Brokaw Street, police said.
The woman was arrested on three counts of first-degree negligent injury at 6:15 a.m. after being treated for injuries at Straub Clinic & Hospital. She was released pending further investigation at 1:30 p.m.
Police said the woman was driving a 2003 Chevy pickup truck, which turned right from Kapahulu Avenue onto Campbell Avenue.
The pickup broadsided a 2001 GMC pickup truck at the Brokaw Street intersection, and continued until it crashed through a fence and ended up in the yard of a nearby home.
A woman, 33, who was one of four passengers in the Chevy truck, and a 29-year-old man, the lone occupant of the GMC pickup, were taken in critical condition to The Queen's Medical Center, police said.
The GMC pickup driver was ejected from his vehicle, police said.
A woman, 32, and man, unknown age, were transported to Queen's in serious condition while another man, 20, went to the same hospital in good condition, police said.
