A Kalani freshman got hit at the Aina Haina shopping center intersection while riding his electric bike. The accident happened on Monday, Aug. 18.
Mary Erickson-Nartatez, Kalani’s school nurse, heard about the accident on her school walkie. The incident happened when the Kalani student was on his way to school.
“It was interesting because they said he was gonna be late to school, and I thought he must be okay,” she explains.
Multiple ambulances showed up at the scene, but thankfully, a source from the Hawaii Police Department confirms that he is okay and will not go to the hospital.
“In all honesty, I think [electric bikes] are super dangerous,” Ercikson-Nartalez says. “I think they’re way too fast. Bicycles as a whole can be dangerous because people just don’t respect them.”
