NORTH KONA, HI – The man killed in a collision last Friday in North Kona has been identified, the Hawaii Police Department said.

The victim of the crash was 19-year-old Noah Edward Zandstra from Kailua-Kona.

The incident took place on the Queen Kaahumanu Highway (Highway 19) at the 84-mile marker. Investigators said Zandstra was driving a 2024 Kawasaki Ninja sport bike southbound at about 6:42 p.m.. The rider was overtaking multiple vehicles simultaneously when the bike collided head-on with a 2021 Honda CR-V.

Zandstra was pronounced dead after being taken to Kona Community Hospital. The Honda driver, a 65-year-old Kamuela woman, suffered minor injuries and was taken to the North Hawai’i Community Hospital.

The Area II Traffic Enforcement Unit is investigating the crash, and SAID speed was a contributing factor. Police said it was the 28th traffic fatality this year compared to 15 at this time last year.

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.

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.

I had the pleasure of working with Glenn and George at the Honolulu Pride event in Honolulu. They were an awesome team to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to a family member or friend if they ever needed a Personal Injury Attorney!

Thank you to Attorney Glenn Honda and his staff (esp. George and Chris) for their excellent care and service. Attorney Honda, although soft spoken, was very aggressive with my claim. He fought to get me a settlement that he knew I deserved, especially after the injuries I sustained. My settlement was more than what I expected. I totally trusted Attorney and his staff to take care of my claim. They are truly personable, kind, accommodating and humble. I would definitely recommend (and return) Attorney Honda to my friends and family. Thanks again Attorney Honda!!!
