Kula crash closes Pulehu for 8 hours

Pulehu Road was closed for about eight hours, reopening early Monday, after a truck hit a utility pole in the 500 block in Kula, police said.

The crash occurred at about 5:30 p.m. Sunday when it was reported that a silver-colored Chevrolet pickup truck lost control and hit the pole while traveling on the road, said Maui police spokesman Lt. Gregg Okamoto.

He said the pickup truck fled before police arrived.

The road was closed while Maui Electric Co. crews replaced the pole.
