The Toyota was being driven by the 19-year-old, who remained at Maui Memorial Medical Center with critical injuries on Wednesday. The 32-year-old woman was riding as a passenger in the Honda. She was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment.

After the crash, the Honda’s driver fled on foot.
