KAILUA-KONA — An overturned cement mixer at the intersection of Queen Kaahumanu Highway and Mauna Lani Drive resulted in delays all day Wednesday as crews worked to remove the rig.
The truck had yet to be removed as of Wednesday evening following a crash sometime after 8 a.m. that occurred when a silver SUV apparently attempted to make a left-turn onto Mauna Lani Drive and collided with the Kona-bound cement mixer, Hawaii Police Maj. Robert Wagner said.
Minor injuries were reported, he said.
Though the truck remained in the roadway throughout the day, police detoured north- and southbound traffic around the crash resulting in some delays but no actual road closure.
