KALIHI, HI – A pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle in the Kalihi area on Monday morning, according to the Honolulu Police Department.

The police department’s Traffic Division learned that a woman was driving eastbound in the zipper lane on the H1 Freeway and merged onto Nimitz Highway at about 8:07 a.m. At that point, she struck a 32-year-old man who was crossing Nimitz Highway and was not in a marked crosswalk.

The pedestrian was critically injured and was pronounced dead after being taken to an area hospital. The driver of the vehicle, a 24-year-old woman, and her 54-year-old female passenger were not injured and stayed at the scene.

Police are continuing to investigate the fatal accident, and said that at this time it does not appear that speed, drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the incident.

Recovery Law Center's communication skills were great! They hold my hands every step during my difficult time. It was not easy to understand laws and regulations, but they explained clearly every time I asked. They really took care of me and I highly recommended Recovery Law Center to everyone!

An impressive Attorney. Mr. Honda was referred to me as a good lawyer. I have been represented by lawyers in the past 35 years since my husband was killed and I viewed Mr. Honda as a good attorney but since the lawyer on the opposing side was aggressive and almost intimidating as I sat by Mr. Honda's side I did not have positive or negative feelings. When it became Mr. Honda's turn to ask questions of the opposite party, his demeanor changed. Initially he did not appear to be listening intensely yet he remembered every point and in a concise, skilled and competent manner he discredited every important factor in the case. He was creative and exuded a winning energy that really amazed and surprised me. He was great and very impressive and I would very highly recommend him to everyone.

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.

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.
