Man dies after motorcycle rear-end collision on Kalanianaole Highway

Glenn Honda | March 10, 2026 |

HAWAII KAI, HI – A crash between two motorcycles in the Hawaii Kai area on Friday night left one of the riders dead, according to a KITV report.

The collision took place on Kalanianaole Highway near Halona Beach Cove at about 10 p.m. Police said one motorcyclist, a 39-year-old man, was heading westbound and rear-ended another bike. The first motorcyclist lost control and crashed into a guardrail.

The 39-year-old was ejected and was pronounced dead after being rushed to an area hospital. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

The other rider, a 23-year-old man, was not injured and stayed at the scene.

It is not believed that speed was a contributing factor in the fatal wreck, but police have yet to determine whether drugs or alcohol were involved.

Glenn Honda and the staff at Recovery Law helped me through one of the toughest times I experienced when my 15 year old was involved in a head on collision, and she was the passenger. I had so many question and concerns with her medical/therapy bills that seemed never ending. Recovery Law kept me informed throughout the process what to expect with the bills and got me through a tough time. My Attorney Glenn Honda fought hard for my daughter and kept her (and my) best interest always in the forefront. Recovery Law, and staff, went above and beyond to ensure the outcome was a positive one. Recovery Law and Glenn Honda made us feel like family and we trusted them wholeheartedly. As a mother, you always want the best for your children, and using Recovery Law during this troubling time was the best decision I made for my daughter and our family. I would recommend Recover Law, Glenn Honda to anyone who needs a strong advocate for either yourself, or your family member(s). Glenn Honda is truly a man who believes in justice.

Mr. Honda's good reputation precedes him. From the moment I contacted his practice I knew I was in good hands. George and Jolie were friendly, easy to talk to, and genuine. They made me feel comfortable, heard, and supported. The Recovery Law Center team helped me every step of the way. They listened to me, answered my questions, and dealt with the disparaging treatment so I didn't have to. Mr. Honda kept me informed about my options, shared his recommendations then let me decide how to proceed. Knowing they had my back and were fighting for me, gave me the chance to focus on my personal recovery. I don't know what I would have done without their help and support. Thank you Glenn Honda and The Recovery Law Center team!!!! I highly recommend them and would definitely seek out their help again if ever I needed it.

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!
