The woman was found lying on the ground near the Ka Uka Boulevard exit at about 8 a.m., police said. She was taken to Queen's Hospital where she was in critical condition last night. Investigators identified the woman through personal belongings, but are not releasing her name. She was found by a passerby and an off-duty police officer, police said. Witnesses did not see any people or cars leaving the area.
Police say foul play is involved and have classified the case as an attempted murder.
Police said she wasn't wearing a seat belt. Carvalho's death was the 22nd Big Island traffic fatality of the year. The man ran into the water and attempted a somersault, but was not able to complete the move and landed on his face. He was taken to Straub Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Assistant Fire Chief Alan Cordeiro said the man was hunting with a male companion and trying to climb down a cliff in pursuit of the pig when he apparently fell 50 feet into a stream bed near mile post marker 8 outside of Huelo.
