Another hit-and-run victim _ a 55-year-old woman in a wheelchair _ is reported in the Star Bulletin today:

A 55-year-old Mililani woman in a wheelchair was struck by a vehicle about 10:20 p.m. Friday in a crosswalk on Bishop Street, near Beretania Street, police said.

The vehicle fled the scene and the pedestrian was taken to the Queen's Medical Center in serious condition with leg and other injuries. Her condition later was upgraded to fair, police said.

The case is under investigation.

If you have any information about this incident please write to me or call the police. I have written recently about other pedestrian injuries and the death of Pelagia Inge on Fort Weaver Road last week. Pelagia Igne's Family Calls for Fort Weaver Road Hit-and-Run Driver's Surrender .

The recent incident happened in the heart of downtown Honolulu where there isn't much traffic at 10 o'clock at night.
