Driver killed when vehicle slams into tree in Makakilo

MAKAKILO, HI – A car wreck in Makakilo last week claimed the life of a motorist, according to Hawaii News Now.

The victim was a 24-year-old man who was headed north on Makakilo Drive near Koholale Street at about 9:30 Tuesday night.

According to police, the driver veered to the left of the roadway and jumped the curb. The car then collided with a tree in the center median.

Honolulu firefighters were dispatched to the scene and used hydraulic tools to remove the man from the wreckage, but he died of his injuries. The driver was wearing a seat belt at the time.

Honolulu police are investigating the accident and said that speed may have been a contributing factor.

For over 29 years, attorney Glenn Honda has helped people injured in accidents throughout Hawaii get the best outcome for their case, whether it’s maximizing their settlement, or balancing costs and risks vs. putting the whole experience behind them. As the founding attorney of the Recovery Law Center, he is passionate about helping his clients with their physical, emotional and financial recovery. Mr. Honda will fight to get you coverage for your medical bills, lost wages, damaged property and other costs related to your accident.

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.

I'm so glad I met Glenn. He's honest, smart, and approachable. Glenn gave great advice during the initial consultation (free of charge, by the way). Through his guidance, I negotiated a settlement with the insurance company. His staff is great, too — professional, respectful, skilled and kind. The location of his office is convenient.
