Hawai'i Crash Data Won't Stay A State Secret
By Rob Perez
After years of denying researchers, reporters and others access to Hawai'i crash data, the state said yesterday it intends to make available its massive volume of traffic accident information dating to 1986, a move that analysts say could help make Island roads safer.
LAWSUITS FEARED
The DOT maintained that the information was not public and would expose the state to greater liability in traffic-injury lawsuits if released.

I'm sure if the data were scrutinized further and compared against the reports, more would be found in the form of discrepen -cies. Don't forget the intentional striking of pedestrians in Hawaii is treated as "reckless driving". Also, I think any objective individual who has read the news in Hawaii would know, the state kept this information hidden to conceal how bad the situation really is.
