Hit-and-run victim aids driver after fiery crash
The victim of a hit-and-run collision pursued the offending driver on the H-2 freeway Friday and then pulled him from burning wreckage after he crashed.
Police said the 34-year-old pickup driver died after he lost control and struck the roadway's barrier four times before flames engulfed the 2002 Ford Ranger.
He was identified as Casey Carter, of Aiea.
Near the Ka Uka Boulevard overpass, Carter struck a 1992 Toyota Corolla, and then fled the scene, police said. Traveling north on the freeway about 9:52 p.m., Carter's vehicle lost control on the wet roadway near Kipapa Gulch Bridge, hit the barrier and caught on fire.
The driver involved in the hit-and-run had pursued Carter and, along with another witness, helped pull him out of the burning truck, police said. Carter was taken to Wahiawa General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police said speed was a factor in the crash. It's unknown if alcohol or drugs were involved.
