Area II Traffic Enforcement Unit officers located and arrested the driver of a 2006 Nissan Murano SUV that fled the scene of a two-vehicle collision in Ocean View that left an Ocean View man with life-threatening injuries.

On January 20, responding officers arrived at the intersection of Māmalahoa Highway and Aloha Boulevard and determined that a blue 2003 Harley-Davidson Road King, operated by a 59-year-old man, was heading south and overtaking several vehicles in a no-passing zone. As the motorcycle was passing the fourth vehicle, a 2006 Nissan SUV made a left turn onto Aloha Boulevard resulting in the motorcycle striking the rear of the vehicle. The rider was immediately ejected more than 250 feet from the motorcycle. The SUV fled the scene into the upper portion of the Hawaiian Ocean View Estates subdivision.

The impact of the collision caused the motorcyclist to sustain severe head and internal injuries. He was transported to Kona Community Hospital for immediate medical attention and subsequently transferred to the Queens Medical Center on Oʻahu where he remains in critical condition.

HPD’s Area II Traffic Enforcement Unit launched a traffic crash investigation and arrested 49-year-old Regina Baker of Ocean View for failure to render aid/accident involving injury or death, driving without a driver’s license, and operating a vehicle without valid insurance. She was subsequently released pending further investigation. The Nissan SUV involved in the collision was taken into police evidence and the investigation remains ongoing at this time.
