Teenager critically injured in multi-vehicle wreck on Kaumualii Highway

Glenn Honda | February 24, 2026 |

KAUAI, HI – A multi-vehicle accident in Kauai on Monday morning left a teenager critically injured, Hawaii News Now reports.

Police and paramedics responded to the crash site in the area of Kaumualii Highway and Omao Road at about 7 a.m.

A preliminary investigation found that the driver of a Toyota sedan was trying to make a left turn onto Kaumualii Highway when a vehicle in the outer eastbound lane stopped to let the Toyota complete its turn. A 1995 Toyota truck going east in the inner lane collided with the front of the sedan, causing the truck driver to lost control. That vehicle then entered the westbound lane and was hit by a 2020 Toyota truck.

The teenager who was driving the 1995 Toyota was hospitalized at Queens Medical Center in critical condition.

No other injuries were reported in the incident, which shut down Kaumualii Highway for about 90 minutes for the accident investigation.

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!

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.

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!

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)
