HILO, HI – A man is facing charges in connection with a crash that killed a motorcyclist in Hilo late Friday night.

According to Hawai‘i Island police, the driver of a 2002 Toyota pickup truck was reversing out of a driveway onto Kalanianaole Street at about 11:39 p.m. when the pickup collided with a 2007 Honda motorcycle traveling west.

The motorcyclist, 26-year-old Jared Tellio-Flournoy of Hilo, was pronounced dead after being taken to Hilo Medical Center. It was not clear whether he was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

The driver of the pickup truck, 26-year-old Sterling Stroud from Volcano, was not injured. He was arrested on charges of first-degree negligent homicide and operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant.

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!!!

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!
