Hawaii Supreme Court
State v. Nahulu
July 2, 2026
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of the defendants’ motions to dismiss. It held that the defendants could not bring a facial vagueness challenge to the fled-scene statute, and that the phrase “involved in a collision” was not vague as applied to an officer allegedly pursuing a vehicle that crashed, even without physical contact. It also held that the charging instrument and bill of particulars together gave the defendants sufficient notice of the accusation.
