NORTH KONA, HI – The Hawaii Police Department said a Kailua-Kona man was killed in a motorcycle accident on Wednesday night.

Police said in a news release that the crash occurred at the intersection of Palani Road and Kealakaa Street in North Kona shortly before 8 p.m.

An investigation indicated that the 29-year-old victim was riding north on a 2023 Yamaha XTZ690 motorcycle and overtook several vehicles on Palani Road. The motorcyclist then was seen disregarding a red stop light and drove between two vehicles stopped at the intersection.

The motorcycle clipped a 2006 Nissan Frontier pickup truck, police said. The rider was thrown from the bike and struck a utility pole. He was pronounced dead after being taken to the Kona Community Hospital. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

Police believe speed was a contributing factor in the incident.

I had the pleasure of working with Glenn and George at the Honolulu Pride event in Honolulu. They were an awesome team to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to a family member or friend if they ever needed a Personal Injury Attorney!

Recovery Law Center's communication skills were great! They hold my hands every step during my difficult time. It was not easy to understand laws and regulations, but they explained clearly every time I asked. They really took care of me and I highly recommended Recovery Law Center to everyone!

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.
