Untreated sewage flows from manhole

About 1,100 gallons of untreated sewage overflowed from a manhole in Pearlridge Friday, the city reported.

The state Department of Health was notified of the spill, and pollution warning signs were posted. Water sampling will be conducted, a city release said.

WINDWARD OAHU

Runaway crane crashes down Kaneohe street

A huge construction crane rolled out of control downhill on a Kaneohe street yesterday morning, toppling onto a parked car, flipping over a driveway and landing in a yard.

No serious injuries were reported in the incident, though the 37-year-old driver did get some scrapes after he bailed out of the so-called "rough-terrain crane."

It's unclear what caused the crane, which was involved in a construction job on Kalanikai Place, to start rolling downhill about 9 a.m.

Police said the crane landed upside down in a yard at 44-121 Kalanikai Place, after rolling over one homeowner's parked car and another's driveway.
