Glenn Honda | May 27, 2025 |

KALIHI, HI – Honolulu police are investigating a hit-and-run collision Saturday night that left a moped rider critically injured.

A report by KITV states that the moped crash occurred at the intersection of North King Street and Kohou Street in the Kalihi area.

Police learned that the moped rider was headed west at about 8:10 p.m. when she entered the intersection and was struck by a vehicle going east on North King Street and turning left at the intersection. The rider, a 53-year-old woman, was ejected onto the roadway. She was rushed to an area hospital and was listed in critical condition. Authorities said she was not wearing a helmet at the time of the incident.

The driver of the vehicle was reported to have driven north on Kohou Street after the accident without stopping to provide any help or information.

The intersection was shut down in all directions for about two hours while the scene was being cleared and investigated. Police have yet to determine whether speed, drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the collision.

From my first exchange of words, I felt comfortable. I felt that every single person at the Recovery Law Center understood everything I was dealing with. I can't express enough gratitude, and I still struggle to put my emotions into words that would do them justice. What was and still remains effortless is trusting that the people there will always have my best interests at heart.

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.

Never gave up on me. Always made sure I was getting better. Kept in touch by mail and telephone calls. I would recommend anyone who needs an attorney to Mr. Glenn Honda.

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.
