Glenn Honda | May 6, 2025 |

SPRECKELSVILLE, HI – Maui police are investigating a head-on collision Friday afternoon that left four people injured, reports Maui Now.

The crash, involving a 2007 GMC Sierra truck and a 2023 Nissan Altima sedan, took place on Hana Highway in Spreckelsville.

Accident investigators determined that the driver of the GMC was heading east in the opposite lane of travel while overtaking other vehicles. The driver of the Nissan was heading west in its proper lane of travel, and the vehicles collided near Nonohe Place at about 3:43 p.m.

The GMC driver, a 52-year-old Pā’ia man, the Nissan driver, a 68-year-old Idaho man, and the Nissan front seat passenger, a 73-year-old Idaho man, were taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center with what were described as major injuries. The back seat passenger of the Nissan, a 63-year-old Idaho woman, was transported to the same hospital with life-threatening injuries.

All occupants of both vehicles were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash.

Investigators believe speed was a contributing factor in the incident but have yet to determine whether drugs or alcohol were involved.

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.

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.

After I had a particularly painful crash while riding my bike in Hawaii, resulting in a visit to the ER, I reached out to Glenn to work on my case. Glenn was thorough and worked diligently to get me a fair settlement. Highly recommended! - Mike Zagorski (Masters World Champion/4x US National Champion Cyclist)

Very helpful and supportive team. The entire team at the Recovery Law Center helped me the whole way. Treated me very kindly and always gave me the best support. They lifted me out of difficult matters in a breeze. Super happy to have chosen them in my legal matters. Highly recommended!

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.
