Another accident at 130 & the shopping centers

[AlohaSteven]

About 6:15pm tonight (Sunday) yet another accident with emergency vehicles on site at the 130/shopping center intersection. I hope there were no injuries or worse, but a minute later past there saw an ambulance with lights flashing but no siren on headed toward the accident site.

We passed two ambulances on Hwy 130 about Pohaku Dr last night about 7:50 PM but didnt see anything on the Hwy.

I do not know if it is true but have been told for local ambulances heading to or from accident sites "lights flashing, sirens off, slow rate of speed" indicates moving a dead body. "Lights flashing, sirens on, high rate of speed" indicates there is still some hope of recovery with treatment. Does anyone know for sure if this is true for Puna?

Is a running tally or monthly accounting of traffic accident statistics for Hwy 130 available to the public, or is the yearly number crunch the most recent figure set available?

As we passed by I glimpsed a small older white pickup truck with a camper shell sitting in the intersection surrounded by police cars, the driver's side door area mashed in as if it had been struck there, and broken glass glittering all over the asphalt.

There was also serious accident there at about 2:30 pm on Saturday, Dec. 4 involving a convertible and a minivan, I think. Police, ambulance and fire were there.
