KANEOHE, HI – Honolulu police are investigating a fatal rollover crash that occurred last week on the Kaneohe-bound H3 Freeway.

According to a KITV report, the driver of a Toyota 4Runner SUV crashed into a guardrail near Likelike Highway on Wednesday night at about 9:15 p.m. The vehicle went off the roadway, onto the shoulder, and up a grass embankment before rolling over several times.

The driver, 39-year-old Kevin Kauweloa, was thrown from the SUV and killed. He was not wearing a seat belt at the time, police said. Family members said Kauweloa worked at Queen’s Medical Center.

Police believe speed and alcohol were contributing factors in the accident.

Once again, I had the misfortune of being in an accident on the road again. First time, a careless tourist hit me while I was driving on my motorcycle and just recently, a rear end collision while waiting for the traffic light to change. In both cases, I have been well informed on getting a fair settlement for my injuries, and resolving all issues, including recommending a physician that specialized in assisting in my recovery on the injuries. I highly recommend Glenn Honda, and his staff at Recovery Law Center to anyone who is looking for a law firm that knows the legal system and cares about their clients too.

I had the pleasure of working with Glenn and George at the Honolulu Pride event in Honolulu. They were an awesome team to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to a family member or friend if they ever needed a Personal Injury Attorney!

Thank you to Attorney Glenn Honda and his staff (esp. George and Chris) for their excellent care and service. Attorney Honda, although soft spoken, was very aggressive with my claim. He fought to get me a settlement that he knew I deserved, especially after the injuries I sustained. My settlement was more than what I expected. I totally trusted Attorney and his staff to take care of my claim. They are truly personable, kind, accommodating and humble. I would definitely recommend (and return) Attorney Honda to my friends and family. Thanks again Attorney Honda!!!
