KAPOLEI, HI – Police said one person was killed and another injured in a high-speed crash in the Kapolei area early Saturday morning.

According to a a news release from the Honolulu Police Department, the single-vehicle accident happened on Farrington Highway, west of Aliinui Drive at about 2:26 a.m.

It was reported to the department’s Traffic Division that a 19-year-old man was driving east at a high rate of speed when he lost control, and the vehicle struck the center median. The vehicle then rolled over multiple times and collided with a light pole before coming to rest.

The driver and his 18-year-old passenger were both ejected. The 19-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene while the 18-year-old was transported to an area hospital in critical condition.

Neither person was wearing a seat belt at the time of the collision. Investigators believe speed was a contributing factor in the fatal wreck but have yet to determine whether drugs or alcohol were involved.

This is the 47th Traffic Fatality on Oahu this year compared to 23 at the same time in 2024.

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!

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!!!

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.
