HAIKU, HI – A motorcycle accident late Sunday night claimed the life of a young man from Maui, according to a KITV report.

Investigators said 19-year-old Koa Hutton of Haiku was riding a Kawasaki off-road motorcycle east on Haleakala Highway when the incident took place shortly after 11 p.m. A driver traveling east in a 2012 Acura sedan rear-ended the motorcycle near mile post 37 west of Keahua Road.

Hutton was thrown from the motorcycle, and was pronounced dead at the scene. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The Acura driver, a 24-year-old Pukalani woman, was not injured. She was wearing her seat belt at the time.

Investigators are trying to determine whether speed, drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the accident.

Glen and his staff are incredible!!! We were in quite a jam for 9 months... They got the best results possible. They really reach out to those who need it. They stuck by our side the whole time... We are a new family starting out and without their help we would be sunk. Thank you Glen and George.

This was the first time that I ever had to deal with an accident involving Insurance and Lawyers. Recovery Law Center made me comfortable and always made me feel that I was always the victim in dealing with the task ahead. They dealt with everyone in a timely and professional manner. Very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs legal representation.

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.
