HILO, HI – A crash on Mahiai Street in Hilo on Sunday afternoon claimed the life of a 20-year-old driver, according to KITV.

Investigators determined that the man was driving a 2017 Jeep Renegade multi-purpose vehicle eastbound when the incident occurred at about 2:07 p.m. near Ahuna Road. The vehicle went off the right shoulder of the roadway, where it collided with a rock pile and overturned.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified as Logan Quintal of Hilo. No one else was in the vehicle, and no other vehicles were involved.

Police do not believe that speed, drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the fatal wreck.

His staff was always helpful and available and made the process extremely easy.

I was Glenn Honda's client twice. Both times, he was my personal injury attorney. The first time, I was walking out the door of this building and the hydraulic malfunctioned, shoving me out. Well, as the door shoved me forward, it caught one of my fingers and partially amputated it. (It's fine now thank God). The insurance company wouldn't even pay my emergency bills. Glenn even hired an engineer to show that the hydraulic was defective. He made the insurance company pay! The second time I was walking and there was dirt and leaves covering a more than one-inch rise in the sidewalk. The City scoffed at me and my claim. But again, Glenn Honda to the rescue — He took the case all the way to arbitration. I recommend him. He fights hard for his clients.

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.
