HRS §291C-20
Who can see a traffic collision report
Traffic collision reports are confidential and used by police, but the police must share them with people directly involved, like drivers, injured people, vehicle owners, and courts. People who can sue because of a death in the crash are also considered directly involved. This rule overrides other laws that conflict.
