Single -vehicle crash results in road closure, arrest
PO`IPO — A 30-year-old Oahu man was arrested Sunday night, following a single
vehicle crash on Maluhia Road in Po`ipu.
Shortly before 11 p.m., Aaron Manuel Jr. was driving south on Maluhia Road in a large
pickup truck when he lost control, crossed over both lanes and struck a rock wall on the road's
northbound shoulder. The vehicle came to rest, blocking both lanes of Maluhia Road just north
of the Wailaau Road intersection.
Manuel sustained non -life threatening injuries and was treated at Wilcox Hospital.
He was subsequently arrested for Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an
Intoxicant (OVUII), and was released on Monday after posting $750 in bail.
Maluhia Road was closed for approximately one hour while the roadway was being
cleared.
The investigation remains ongoing.
