Sleeping Driver Plows Through Dillingham Sidewalk
HONOLULU — A sleepy truck driver plowed into a fire hydrant, a traffic sign and brought down a utility pole on Dillingham Boulevard on Thursday morning, police said.
It happened at about 8 a.m. near a Popeye’s restaurant at Dillingham Plaza.
The truck was going Ewa bound when the driver said he fell asleep.
The driver works at two jobs, police said. If the accident happened earlier in the rush hour, it could have been a lot worse, they said.
