HONOLULU — Police say a man intentionally walked in front of a bus at the beginning of rush hour Wednesday, causing hours of delays on the H-1 freeway.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that the man purposefully walked in front of a city bus on the freeway about a half-mile east of the Waipahu off ramp at about 3 p.m. Police closed two lanes for about two hours to investigate.
The man was struck near a construction zone, which is part of a state project to widen the Pearl City viaduct. A Department of Transportation spokesman said construction had finished for the day and the pedestrian was not a construction worker.
The subsequent lane closures backed up end of day commutes by more than two hours.
