last Wednesday a 2002 Kenworth tow truck apparently lost its brakes at the Likelike Highway off-ramp to Kahekili Highway. The 52-year-old driver has dozens of traffic violations dating back a decade, and was towing over the weight limit, when it ran into 10 vehicles

In the last eight months alone, the driver has been cited for driving with a mobile electronic device, an invalid safety check, no vehicle insurance, and a limit on her commercial drivers license.

Sources tell Hawaii News Now that the tow truck was also towing a vehicle over the weight limit.

And one witness said that seconds before the crash, she passed the tow truck and saw what looked like a cell phone in the driver’s hand.

Police have opened a negligent injury case in the wake of the crash, which also sent three others to the hospital.
