Woman Killed in H-1 Freeway Crash in Nuuanu
HONOLULU (Island News) — A 28-year-old woman died in a crash on the H-1 Freeway in Nuuanu on Saturday evening around 5:58 p.m.
According to the Honolulu Police Department, Savalivali L. Vivao of Honolulu was traveling westbound when her vehicle crossed all lanes and struck the concrete center median. First responders pronounced Vivao dead at the scene.
Police confirmed Vivao was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident. Speed does not appear to be a factor, though it's unclear if drugs or alcohol played a role.
