Maui residents say utility trucks blocked the road as they tried to flee deadly wildfires.
Three survivors of the Maui wildfires that killed more than 100 people told NBC News that the main escape route out of town was partly blocked by Hawaiian Electric trucks clearing downed lines and replacing broken power poles. “Instead of waiting for everybody to get out, they were blocking the only way out with their big trucks," one resident said. Hawaiian Electric said it would look into whether its trucks caused the highway to be shut down. The utility also faces a lawsuit filed yesterday alleging that it set the stage for the deadliest wildfire in modern American history through years of inaction and negligence. President Joe Biden is scheduled to travel to the site of the destruction on Monday as the search continues for the missing. Here's the latest.
