KAU, HI – Police have released additional details regarding a fatal crash that occurred in Kau on Sunday night.

The Hawaii Police Department issued a news release identifying the victim as 30-year-old Koa Kane Clark of Waikoloa.

Investigators said Clark was driving a Mercedes-Benz convertible at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the car on Highway 11 shortly after 8 p.m. The vehicle went off the roadway and collided with a rock wall sign in front of Manuka State Recreational Park.

Clark was ejected from the car and pronounced dead after being taken to the Kona Community Hospital. He was not wearing a seat belt at the time, police said. A passenger, a 25-year-old Kailua-Kona man, was hospitalized in stable condition.

Speed and impairment are believed to have been contributing factors in the wreck, according to investigators.

Mr. Honda will fight to get you coverage for your medical bills, lost wages, damaged property and other costs related to your accident.

I was Glenn Honda's client twice. Both times, he was my personal injury attorney. The first time, I was walking out the door of this building and the hydraulic malfunctioned, shoving me out. Well, as the door shoved me forward, it caught one of my fingers and partially amputated it. (It's fine now thank God). The insurance company wouldn't even pay my emergency bills. Glenn even hired an engineer to show that the hydraulic was defective. He made the insurance company pay! The second time I was walking and there was dirt and leaves covering a more than one-inch rise in the sidewalk. The City scoffed at me and my claim. But again, Glenn Honda to the rescue — He took the case all the way to arbitration. I recommend him. He fights hard for his clients.

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.
