This red Honda Sedan was torn in half after a collision at the intersection of Mamaki Street and Highway 11 on Sunday, ending a day of police pursuit through the Puna district.

Police have confirmed to Hawaii247.com that the sedan was reported stolen, and that it even hit a police car earier in the day. The sedan eventually collided with another vehicle, snarling southbound traffic on Highway 11 for nearly three hours.

Both drivers and an elderly female passenger were taken to Hilo Medical Center.

32-year-old Alexander Borrero III was arrested at the scene, and he remains in police custody at Hilo Medical Center while detectives continue their investigation. A first-degree attempted murder case has been initiated by police, for the alleged act of backing the Honda into the police officer.
