By Wayne Parsons

Kaimakani Street was partially closed on Thursday at about 2:30 in the afternoon after a car driven by an older man struck a woman in a crosswalk. The injured woman was taken to Queens Medical Center in critical condition after being treated at the scene by paramedics.

I have written before on the epidemic of crosswalk pedestrian injuries.

I continue to be surprised by these incidents. Why do we have so many?

The man was driving a 2001 gold Chevy Malibu sedan and was turning left from Moanalua Road onto Kaimakani Street. The Malibu crashed into the woman according to police.The elderly man driving the vehical that struck the pedestrian was not injured. According to a report in the Honolulu Star Bulletin:
