WAIPAHU, HI – A two-vehicle collision in Waipahu last week left one of the drivers hospitalized, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

The accident happened in the vicinity of Hiapo Street and Paiwa Street Thursday at about 7:20 p.m. Honolulu Emergency Medical Services said a van reportedly hit another vehicle at a red light at the intersection, then veered off the road and kept on going over a hill. The driver of the van, a 27-year-old man, was seriously injured and taken to an area hospital.

The other driver, a 30-year-old man, declined to be transported but was treated at the scene by EMS.

Paiwa Street was shut down for the police investigation but later reopened.

“I was referred by a friend that I worked with at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. I am beyond grateful that Glenn Honda from Recovery Law Center represented me & helped me with every single step & detail in my injury case. He & his legal team were so respectful, kind, & caring from the very beginning. Mr. Honda is the most genuine, patient, & hardest working Attorney that I have ever had in Hawaii. I was unfortunately hurt by a driver many years ago & the Attorney that helped me at that time did not fight for me. He was not consistent with his legal advice & counsel. I was just one of many clients & didn’t get the support needed in my case. In the end I was left with very little from the settlement. But with Mr. Honda, he not only is intelligent & knowledgeable in your case, he will fight for you & your family. He has the passion & tenacity to not give up until you have the best outcome for your case. He will look at every way possible to help you. He has the integrity needed & kept his word. He & his staff also took all the financial pressure off from the accident & the bills that came with it. They handled all the paperwork & were so supportive. Mr. Honda gave me many options of how he could help me in my specific case. He went above & beyond to achieve the best settlement offer for me & my family! I absolutely will always recommend him to my family, friends, & anyone needing help in an injury case. He & his team have exceptional service & if I ever need legal representation again in the future, he will definitely be the Attorney that represents me!”
