KOLOA, HI – Police said a driver was killed and a passenger was injured when their vehicle crashed in Koloa on Friday night.

Hawaii News Now reported details of the accident that occurred on Maluhia Road at about 10 p.m. Investigators determined that a man was driving a 1991 Dodge truck northbound when he drove off the road and collided with a tree.

The driver, a 33-year-old Lihue man, suffered fatal injuries. A passenger, a 32-year-old woman from Lihue, sustained injuries that were not life-threatening and was taken to the Wilcox Memorial Hospital.

GLENN HONDA is a great personal injury attorney who works hard for those he represents and is by your side giving you the support, advocacy, and representation you need when you truly need it most! Thank you Glenn Honda for representing and standing up for me when I was in a bad accident and for being there for me when I was at a real low! Glenn and his team were there for me from the day I called him and was there throughout my recovery. He helped me find specialists that really helped my body recover from the injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. He and his team fought hard against the insurance company to get me a settlement that I deserved and one that covered my medical bills, property loss, and funds to further assist me with my needs. I am very grateful to Glenn and his team for representing me and for the support he showed me. He's an awesome attorney and a good man that in my opinion went over and beyond to help me and he treated me with great respect. I would definitely recommend that you call Glenn Honda at Recovery Law Center for help in getting the representation that you need and deserve!

An impressive Attorney. Mr. Honda was referred to me as a good lawyer. I have been represented by lawyers in the past 35 years since my husband was killed and I viewed Mr. Honda as a good attorney but since the lawyer on the opposing side was aggressive and almost intimidating as I sat by Mr. Honda's side I did not have positive or negative feelings. When it became Mr. Honda's turn to ask questions of the opposite party, his demeanor changed. Initially he did not appear to be listening intensely yet he remembered every point and in a concise, skilled and competent manner he discredited every important factor in the case. He was creative and exuded a winning energy that really amazed and surprised me. He was great and very impressive and I would very highly recommend him to everyone.
