KA’U, HI – Police said a driver was killed and a passenger injured in a high-speed accident in Ka’u on Sunday night, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reports.

The crash happened on Highway 11 near the entrance to the Manuka State Recreational Park.  According to police, the driver of a 2008 Mercedes Benz 280 convertible lost control while going north at a very high rate of speed shortly after 8 p.m.

He was pronounced dead after being taken to Kona Community Hospital. The man was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, investigators said.
