#drinking and driving

The involvement of alcohol is considered a factor in a rollover crash that resulted in the hospitalization of an 18-year-old driver from Wailuku. The teen was ejected from the vehicle and suffered critical, life-threatening injuries in the crash. He was transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment. The front passenger, an 18-year-old Wailuku male, and the rear passenger, an 18-year-old Waiheʻe male, both sustained minor injuries and were transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center in stable condition.

AAA Hawaiʻi is offering a “tipsy tow” service on New Year’s Eve as a last resort for individuals needing a ride home after drinking. The tow is unique in that it provides a driver with a safe ride home for themselves and their vehicle instead of driving while intoxicated.
