Motorcyclist killed in collision with vehicle identified as Hilo man

Glenn Honda | October 4, 2024 |

HILO, HI – Hawai‘i Island police have released new details regarding a collision in Hilo on Sunday night that left a motorcyclist dead.

Police said the man killed has been identified as 20-year-old Isaac Dakujaku of Hilo.

Officers responded to the crash at the intersection of Ainaola Drive and Komohana Street at 9:25 p.m.

An initial investigation indicated that the operator of a 2019 Kawasaki motorcycle was traveling southwest on Ainaola Drive when the bike collided with a 2015 Nissan sedan going northeast on Ainaola Drive and negotiating a left turn onto Komohana Street.

The man on the motorcycle was pronounced dead after being taken to the Hilo Benioff Medical Center. One passenger in the Nissan, a 23-year-old Hilo woman, was taken to the same hospital with minor injuries and released. The Nissan driver, a 37-year-old Hilo man, and a juvenile passenger in the back seat were not injured.

Police have launched a negligent homicide investigation and believe speed was a contributing factor in the wreck.

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.

Recovery Law Center made my legal experience entirely stress-free. I had two face-to-face meetings and a handful of phone calls with them. I hope I won't need their services in the future, but I will not hesitate for a second to call them if I find myself on the bad side of another rear-end! Mahalo to Jolie, Glenn, and the rest of the staff at Recovery Law Center for making this ordeal completely painless! Aloha!

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.
