Man killed, woman injured when motorcycle crashes in Kahului

Glenn Honda | October 10, 2023 |

KAHULUI, HI – Maui Police said one person was killed and another was injured when their motorcycle crashed in Kahului early Saturday morning.

According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, a 25-year-old man was driving a 2012 Yamaha YZF-R6 with an 18-year-old woman as his passenger on Hookele Street shortly after midnight.

An investigation found that the man was not able to navigate a right bend in the roadway near Pakaula Street and crossed over into the opposite lane. The motorcycle then hit a curb, a tree, and a speed limit sign on the shoulder of the roadway.

Both people on the motorcycle were ejected onto the roadway. The motorcyclist suffered fatal injuries, while his passenger was hospitalized in stable condition. Both were wearing their helmets at the time.

Police are continuing to investigate the crash, and have yet to determine whether speed, drugs or alcohol were contributing factors.

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.

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.

Aloha, The team at Recovery Law Center was exceptional beyond expectations. Their professionalism, insight of my situation, and knowledge was on point from beginning to the end. They were on point and proactive on behalf of me and I felt very comfortable. I always felt assured that they were in control of my situation as if I was family. From fast replies to any questions I had to sending holiday cards in the mail. They encouraged and guided me in this first time ordeal on my path to recovery. I would recommend them to anyone. I have a great deal of gratitude and appreciation. I could go on for days with praise, but long story short they treated me like Ohana and I was beyond pleased with the settlement. Thank you guys! Aloha.
