KEA’AU, HI – The Hawaii Police Department said it has identified the pedestrian killed in a June 23 traffic collision in Kea’au.
In a news release, the victim was reported to be 20-year-old Densiann Denno of Hilo. Police said they had previously not been notified of her death on Oahu and recently obtained this information as part of their ongoing investigation into the crash.
The incident happened shortly before 8:30 p.m. on Kea‘au-Pahoa Road, Highway 130, near Orchid Land Drive.
Responding Puna Patrol officers learned that a 2003 Nissan SUV traveling northwest on Highway 130 struck Denno in the middle of the roadway near Orchid Land Drive. At the time it had been raining and visibility was low, investigators said. Denno died two days later after being taken to Queens Medical Center.
The Nissan driver , a 62-year-old man from Volcano, was not injured.
