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.

Glenn was able to garner a far larger settlement to compensate me for what I went through and the scar I will bear for life. His staff was always helpful and available and made the process extremely easy. I hope to never be injured again but I would not hesitate to count on Recovery Law Center or recommend them to anyone who has been injured or pushed around by insurance companies.
