A 44-year-old man was critically injured early this morning after a hit-and-run driver struck him as he was crossing a Waikiki street, Honolulu police said.

The pedestrian “was walking on Kalakaua Avenue in a marked crosswalk near the intersection of Pau Street, when he was struck by a 20-year-old male motorist,” according to a news release from the Honolulu Police Department’s Traffic Division.

The driver continued traveling east on Kalakaua Avenue “without stopping to render aid or provide information,” police said. He was later located and arrested for suspicion of collisions involving death or serious bodily injury.

Honolulu Emergency Medical Services officials said paramedics treated the victim for multiple injuries and took him to an emergency room in critical condition.
