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.

Investigators believe speed was a contributing factor in the crash.

For over 29 years, attorney Glenn Honda has helped people injured in accidents throughout Hawaii get the best outcome for their case, whether it’s maximizing their settlement, or balancing costs and risks vs. putting the whole experience behind them. As the founding attorney of the Recovery Law Center, he is passionate about helping his clients with their physical, emotional and financial recovery. Mr. Honda will fight to get you coverage for your medical bills, lost wages, damaged property and other costs related to your accident.

Compassionate & Aggressive Representation. I was at a stop light when I was hit from behind by someone who was not paying attention. In addition to the damages to my car I was injured. The insurance company overwhelmed me with paperwork. It was an extremely difficult time for me. I was referred to Mr. Honda by a friend. Mr. Honda was only concerned about me and my injuries. He told me to concentrate on getting better and not to worry about anything else. It was such a relief not having to worry about the paperwork jungle that the insurance company was putting me through. He was able to negotiate a fair settlement for me without having to go through litigation. I would recommend Mr. Honda because his focus is really on the client's well being rather than the dollar amount of the case. Thank you Mr. Honda for your compassion towards me and, your aggressive approach with the insurance company.

Glenn Honda and the staff at Recovery Law helped me through one of the toughest times I experienced when my 15 year old was involved in a head on collision, and she was the passenger. I had so many question and concerns with her medical/therapy bills that seemed never ending. Recovery Law kept me informed throughout the process what to expect with the bills and got me through a tough time. My Attorney Glenn Honda fought hard for my daughter and kept her (and my) best interest always in the forefront. Recovery Law, and staff, went above and beyond to ensure the outcome was a positive one. Recovery Law and Glenn Honda made us feel like family and we trusted them wholeheartedly. As a mother, you always want the best for your children, and using Recovery Law during this troubling time was the best decision I made for my daughter and our family. I would recommend Recover Law, Glenn Honda to anyone who needs a strong advocate for either yourself, or your family member(s). Glenn Honda is truly a man who believes in justice.

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.
