HONOLULU, HI – Police announced that a suspect has been charged in connection with a fatal hit-and-run incident in Honolulu, reports Hawaii News Now.

It happened Wednesday morning in the area of Kapiolani Boulevard and Kamakee Street near McKinley High School. Two students were struck by a pickup truck while walking across the street towards the school at about 6:45 a.m. The driver left the scene without stopping to help, according to police.

One of the victims, a 16-year-old girl, died of her injuries. The other was listed in good condition.

Police said the suspected driver has now turned himself in. 45-year-old Mitchel Yoshige Miyashiro was arrested on multiple charges, including first-degree negligent homicide.

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.

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.

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.
