Hawai‘i Island police arrested and charged Alec Lyle Timpson of Captain Cook for his involvement in a South Kona hit-and-run collision that critically injured a 24-year-old male pedestrian
On Sunday, Timpson turned himself in at the Kealakehe Police Station following the release of an HPD media release describing the vehicle involved in the collision. Police investigators also recovered a silver 2001 Ford F-150 pickup truck as evidence. The hit-and-run collision took place on Saturday, May 13, on Highway 11, near the 110-mile marker in South Kona. Responding officers determined that an unknown vehicle was heading south when it struck the pedestrian who was walking across the highway. The driver of the vehicle then fled the scene. The male pedestrian, who has not been positively identified, was transported to Kona Community Hospital and subsequently transferred to Queens Medical Center on Oʻahu for further treatment, where he is listed in critical condition. After conferring with the County Prosecutors Office, police charged Timpson with:
- First-degree negligent injury
- Duty to give information or render aid
- Accidents involving death or serious bodily injury
His bail was set at $7,250 and he is currently being held at the Kealakehe Police Station cellblock pending his initial court appearance.
