WAHIAWA, HI – A driver who was killed in a car accident in Wahiawa early Wednesday morning has now been identified, reports the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

This is an update to a previous story.

The victim was 70-year-old Lansing K. Kakazu of Wahiawa, according to the Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office.

The accident happened on California Avenue shortly before 5:30 a.m. Police said Kakazu was driving west when he veered off to the right of the roadway and collided with a wooden telephone pole.

Kakazu was pronounced dead after being transported to an area hospital. He was wearing a seat belt at the time, police said. No other vehicles were involved.

Investigators do not believe speed, drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the wreck.

GLENN HONDA is a great personal injury attorney who works hard for those he represents and is by your side giving you the support, advocacy, and representation you need when you truly need it most! Thank you Glenn Honda for representing and standing up for me when I was in a bad accident and for being there for me when I was at a real low! Glenn and his team were there for me from the day I called him and was there throughout my recovery. He helped me find specialists that really helped my body recover from the injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. He and his team fought hard against the insurance company to get me a settlement that I deserved and one that covered my medical bills, property loss, and funds to further assist me with my needs. I am very grateful to Glenn and his team for representing me and for the support he showed me. He's an awesome attorney and a good man that in my opinion went over and beyond to help me and he treated me with great respect. I would definitely recommend that you call Glenn Honda at Recovery Law Center for help in getting the representation that you need and deserve!

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.

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.

After I had a particularly painful crash while riding my bike in Hawaii, resulting in a visit to the ER, I reached out to Glenn to work on my case. Glenn was thorough and worked diligently to get me a fair settlement. Highly recommended! - Mike Zagorski (Masters World Champion/4x US National Champion Cyclist)
