An officer saw a white truck with no hood and blacked out windows on Kaumana Drive in Hilo. The officer went to investigate and the truck immediately backed into the officer’s vehicle, pulled forward and then backed into the officer’s vehicle a second time before fleeing the area. The license plate seen was HZK-649. The Officer’s vehicle was completely damaged from the incident and the officer was out of the vehicle at the time. Today (11-25-2019) at about 11:20 A.M., police found the same truck, now painted black, in the parking lot of the Puainako Shopping Center. When police approached, the truck fled the area heading South on Highway 11 toward Keaau driving recklessly. Police are warning the public about this truck as the operator is not concerned for the safety of the public and is willing to take any risks in fleeing from law enforcement.
