HONOLULU, HI – The Honolulu Police Department was called to the scene of a deadly motorcycle crash on Wednesday night, according to Hawaii News Now.

Police said a 21-year-old man was riding a motorcycle at high speed on the H-1 Freeway near Waipahu when the incident occurred at about 7:30 p.m. According to investigators, the motorcyclist was weaving through traffic and tried to exit the freeway at the Waipahu off-ramp.

When he tried to re-enter the freeway from the exit lane the man struck a safety barrier. He was ejected from the bike onto the roadway and was struck by a car.

The motorcyclist, whose name was not released, was pronounced dead after being taken to an area hospital. Police believe speed was a contributing factor in the incident.

The victim was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

Glenn was able to garner a far larger settlement to compensate me for what I went through and the scar I will bear for life. His staff was always helpful and available and made the process extremely easy. I hope to never be injured again but I would not hesitate to count on Recovery Law Center or recommend them to anyone who has been injured or pushed around by insurance companies.

I was Glenn Honda's client twice. Both times, he was my personal injury attorney. The first time, I was walking out the door of this building and the hydraulic malfunctioned, shoving me out. Well, as the door shoved me forward, it caught one of my fingers and partially amputated it. (It's fine now thank God). The insurance company wouldn't even pay my emergency bills. Glenn even hired an engineer to show that the hydraulic was defective. He made the insurance company pay! The second time I was walking and there was dirt and leaves covering a more than one-inch rise in the sidewalk. The City scoffed at me and my claim. But again, Glenn Honda to the rescue — He took the case all the way to arbitration. I recommend him. He fights hard for his clients.

Glen and his staff are incredible!!! We were in quite a jam for 9 months... They got the best results possible. They really reach out to those who need it. They stuck by our side the whole time... We are a new family starting out and without their help we would be sunk. Thank you Glen and George.
