HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Nearly a week after he was struck by a hit-and-run driver while cycling in Ewa Beach, 38-year-old Bernard Doria is able to open his eyes.
But he still cannot speak or provide details of the pickup truck that hit him Sunday morning.
His wife, Jennifer, is pleading with the driver to come forward.
âItâs cowardly. I can forgive and have closure at least if they just come forward,â Doria said, adding her husband rides his bike through the Ewa Beach and Kapolei areas every weekend.
The $100 million project will also include the world’s largest standing surf wave.
“This is like Waimea River wave on steroids that goes all day every day,” said Skip Taylor from the surf park management. “We can run the wave from knee-high to head high and it can get up to a 100-foot wide wave.”
The project broke ground in October 2020 and is expected to open in early 2022. Developers hope that visitors and kamaaina will enjoy this first-of-its-kind venue in west Oahu. Some Ewa Beach residents are skeptical, however.
“First thing that comes to mind is how is it going to impact the community and will it drive up taxes on homes,” said Edwin Julian, an Ewa Beach resident.
