There was another accident on the Pahoa bypass yesterday afternoon (Wednesday).
This one involved a couple of cars and a schoolbus. No students were injured when one of the cars ended up wedged under the rear of the bus. Time for action!
Regarding the earlier accident involving the SUV and motorcycle;
The bike victim, Peter Gonsalves, of Nanawale, was traveling towards Kalapana when an SUV heading the opposite way turned left into him. He is alive today because he had a helmet on, and because the Pahoa school nurse (Gerlinda Troy) was on the scene to immediatly apply a tournequet and give first aid.
I apologise for the misinformation in my earlier post concerning an illegal pass. The SUV was still at fault, but the wreck seems to be from carelessness rather than criminal insanity.
Peter is in Queens Hospital doing as well as expected under the circumstances. He will be fitted with a prostectic as they couldn't save his leg.
