WAIKOLOA, HI – Hawai‘i Island police said two women in their 70s were killed in a collision in Waikoloa on Saturday morning.

According to a news release, police responded to Waikoloa Road after being notified of the incident at 11:39 a.m. Officers learned that the driver of a 2020 Kia Soul SUV was heading west when the vehicle crossed over the center line near the 3-mile marker and collided head-on with a westbound 2024 Chevrolet Blazer.

The driver of the Kia was pronounced dead after being taken to the North Hawaii Community Hospital. She was identified as 72-year-old Lynn Capell of Waimea. A back seat passenger in the Chevrolet, 79-year-old Eugenia Taylor of Alabama, died at the Kona Community Hospital.

The driver of the Chevrolet, a 75-year-old man from Washington, and the front seat passenger, a 77-year-old man from Alabama, were transported to the North Hawaii Community Hospital.

A third vehicle veered off the road to avoid the collision but none of the four occupants were injured. Police investigating the crash believe that speed and inattention were contributing factors.

Mr. Honda's good reputation precedes him. From the moment I contacted his practice I knew I was in good hands. George and Jolie were friendly, easy to talk to, and genuine. They made me feel comfortable, heard, and supported. The Recovery Law Center team helped me every step of the way. They listened to me, answered my questions, and dealt with the disparaging treatment so I didn't have to. Mr. Honda kept me informed about my options, shared his recommendations then let me decide how to proceed. Knowing they had my back and were fighting for me, gave me the chance to focus on my personal recovery. I don't know what I would have done without their help and support. Thank you Glenn Honda and The Recovery Law Center team!!!! I highly recommend them and would definitely seek out their help again if ever I needed it.

An impressive Attorney. Mr. Honda was referred to me as a good lawyer. I have been represented by lawyers in the past 35 years since my husband was killed and I viewed Mr. Honda as a good attorney but since the lawyer on the opposing side was aggressive and almost intimidating as I sat by Mr. Honda's side I did not have positive or negative feelings. When it became Mr. Honda's turn to ask questions of the opposite party, his demeanor changed. Initially he did not appear to be listening intensely yet he remembered every point and in a concise, skilled and competent manner he discredited every important factor in the case. He was creative and exuded a winning energy that really amazed and surprised me. He was great and very impressive and I would very highly recommend him to everyone.

Compassionate & Aggressive Representation. I was at a stop light when I was hit from behind by someone who was not paying attention. In addition to the damages to my car I was injured. The insurance company overwhelmed me with paperwork. It was an extremely difficult time for me. I was referred to Mr. Honda by a friend. Mr. Honda was only concerned about me and my injuries. He told me to concentrate on getting better and not to worry about anything else. It was such a relief not having to worry about the paperwork jungle that the insurance company was putting me through. He was able to negotiate a fair settlement for me without having to go through litigation. I would recommend Mr. Honda because his focus is really on the client's well being rather than the dollar amount of the case. Thank you Mr. Honda for your compassion towards me and, your aggressive approach with the insurance company.

From my first exchange of words, I felt comfortable. I felt that every single person at the Recovery Law Center understood everything I was dealing with. I can't express enough gratitude, and I still struggle to put my emotions into words that would do them justice. What was and still remains effortless is trusting that the people there will always have my best interests at heart.
