Kokua Line: How many homeless pedestrians were run over?
Jan 03, 2025
Question: I heard on the news that pedestrian fatalities rose in 2024. Do you know how many of those involved homeless people who were lying in the road? I won’t drive much at night after hearing about a traumatic incident and wonder how common it is. A friend almost ran over someone whose legs were protruding into the road near the intersection of Lunalilo and Pensacola streets. The man was mostly on the sidewalk. He was wearing dark clothing, and my friend didn’t see him until the last second. Luckily, he did not hit him.
