What a great way to say we hate tourists!!! Tourists should be careful, maybe go somewhere else to spend your money!! Hawaii is changing into anti tourism!!

[@tedmaui8991]

I think it’s more than anti-tourist. It is anti-people. I’m 68 yo local seen and experienced locals drive right up to my legs. Some were inattentive but majority were looking at me and mutter something with a disgusted expression. Everything is about them, right or wrong.

[@AlwaysPeacefulMaDeuce]

@@tedmaui8991too true Ted. Born and raised in Hawaii. 1/4 Hawaiian but white skin blue eyes. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been harassed, assaulted, road raged at, so I’ve come to the conclusion that some people are ignorant narcissists and care not for anyone but themselves. It’s not so much a specific group unless the group is ignorant narcissists. It happens everywhere.

[@billiejkamakea9625]

Brah this is sooo sad and sickening i pray for her recovery all the way around this is very traumatic. I hope the right person sees this and turns the driver in cuz this was not right. This kind of sound like a hate crime. Eitjer way if its not and its negligence you need to be punished for what you did.

He will be caught just a matter of time and reviews of cameras most likely I got faith he will be caught and brought to justice wishing this young lady a speedy recovery 🙏

[@miyosu20022002]

Sorry to hear this happen to the woman. Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery. Get people like that. There are no side walks where I live and the area next to the road is often over grown. Most cars that pass will give me a wide birth when I am walking. Then there are those who will come really close to me, honk their horns real long, yell obscenities, or throw things. The real trip is its just one block away from the Pearl City Police station.

[@HONDA43VA]

Yup, this island not the same as when I grew up in the 80s and 90s. Now days people on the road are way more nutz.

[@mr808steelers]

I feel bad for her. Praying 🙏 for a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 With that said, never cross the street thinking cars are gonna stop. Once you think that way, you’re putting yourself in danger ‼️ ⚠️ Only YOU 🫵 can keep yourself safe! I taught my kids when you’re crossing with a bunch and you know you won’t make it, don’t cross. Don’t try to follow. It’s safer to wait. If you hesitate, it’s too late. Always have eye contact with the driver not the car.

[@jono7248]

Sorry to say Lady, but yes there are evil people in the world.

[@jeroengo1896]

[@piilania]

Cannot trust drivers to stop. Need to check both ways before and during any road crossings. Too easy to be distracted or otherwise careless while driving. Not as easy to be a careless pedestrian, just no match for a vehicle in the scheme of things. Sorry for the young lady!!

[@Charly-in-the-808]

“Not like you” is a far cry to murderously trying to kill another human being. That person was criminal.

[@pikiwiki]

"I heard the car speed up" Not a sound you want to hear on a crosswalk.

[@Mikomido5]

Sorry this happened to her. Hawaii ranks second in most dangerous state for pedestrians. High number of pedestrian fatalities in Hawaii. Been like this for a long time. Cars don’t yield for pedestrians. That’s why always have to be vigilant and aware of your surroundings

[@geoleo2597]

Where'd you get those stats?

A lot of pedestrians don’t pay attention.

[@erictoulon5946]

Years ago on Kauai I was in a crosswalk along with a couple of women one of whom was in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank. A driver who had plenty of time to stop instead drove through forcing us to stop midway. I filed a complaint at the police department and the officer said you have to pay attention. The law is not ambiguous. It hasn’t gotten better and it’s pretty much the same throughout the state.

[@tammydeplata2526]

Pedestrians have right-of-way. Period. Idc about the why this happened only that the person that hit her KNEW they just broke the law otherwise, why drive off? Ppl want to get mad and that's ok. Anger is a normal human emotion. HOWEVER, your behavior thereafter is a CHOICE. Do the crime, do the time. That one never gets old. Prayers for a speedy recovery 🙏❤

[@jokbia]

why does no one ask any questions? Was she crossing when a car was passing? why did she not wait? regardless of whether a vehicle is speeding or not do you not have any common sense to wait till there are no cars even remotely present? These are some basic things to be held accountable for.

[@musica8083]

honestly sounds like they ran into the road the guy swerved and then yelled at her

[@macjelly5842]

I sure would like to hear the FULL story. I'm sure there's some pieces missing.

[@prst99]

Maybe. Sometimes pedestrians think they can bully car traffic. I need more description of the incident. Were they crossing expecting an oncoming car to stop? I usually wait for the oncoming car to slow down or wave me to cross. I don’t just force them to stop by entering the road.

[@leevillagomez9390]

@@prst99this is true. Even though the law says that the pedestrians have the right of way there is also a law that says pedestrians need to follow the law too. Don’t J-Walk. And in on the other side of the coin it’s common sense to look both ways. Never believe that the car should stop because you see it. But does the DRIVER SEE You? And then if the Car doesn’t STOP. THEN DON’T GO! STAY! Until it’s clear!

[@derekk2300]

I’m pretty positive the driver didn’t speed up intentionally like her friend claims. They probably were all not paying attention crossing in an unmarked crosswalk and it’s just an accident. Dude shouldn’t have left the scene tho
