Glenn Honda | April 1, 2024 |

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.

In 2010 I opened my business called Sophisticated Facial and Nail Spa; then I had an accident. I tried to move a safe out of my business and it fell on my whole body. The safe weighed over 3,000 pounds. I was in the hospital for 29 days and when I got out of the hospital I called my insurance company and they told me that this accident wouldn't be covered under my business insurance. So I contacted a couple different attorneys but none of them would take on my case. I hired a company to paint my business and then she saw that my hand had a big scar. She asked me what happened to my elbow. I told her I had an accident here at my business and my business insurance company wouldn't cover it. She asked me if I had an attorney and I explained that I went to a couple of attorneys and none of them would take on my case. She recommended an attorney by the name of Glenn Honda. I contacted him and he took my case. Glenn was very passionate and explained to me that I have a good case. In the end Glenn won my case and as a favor to me because of everything I went through that he would give me a discount and not take as much as he normally does. Glenn settled my case in less than one year. I would highly recommend Glenn Honda for any personal injury accidents. Thank you Glenn Honda for all of your help and support with my case.

Recovery Law Center's communication skills were great! They hold my hands every step during my difficult time. It was not easy to understand laws and regulations, but they explained clearly every time I asked. They really took care of me and I highly recommended Recovery Law Center to everyone!

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!

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.
