Crash closes Maluhia Road on Monday
KOLOA — Maluhia Road in Koloa was closed for about two hours on Monday, following a
two -vehicle crash.
The occupants of both vehicles did not sustain any injuries.
Shortly before 9:20 a.m., a Ford dump truck was traveling south on Maluhia Road when
it failed to negotiate a curve, causing the truck to slide off the roadway and flip onto its side. As
the truck flipped over, it struck an oncoming Nissan SUV.
Maluhia Road was closed in both directions until approximately 11:10 a.m., while the
roadway was being cleared.
Police diverted traffic through Koloa and Oma`o roads until Maluhia Road was reopened.
