HONOLULU, HI – The driver who died in a wrong-way crash in the Makiki area early Saturday morning has now been identified, reports Hawaii News Now.

The victim was 25-year-old Kylee Chun of Oahu, according to the Honolulu Medical Examiner.

The wreck occurred along the H-1 West Freeway, west of the Punahou Street overpass at about 3:45 a.m. Honolulu police investigators said Chun was driving eastbound in the westbound lanes of the freeway.

Her vehicle collided with a semi-truck driven by a 77-year-old man who was heading west in the #2 lane. Bystanders arrived at the scene to help extricate Chun from her car.

Chun, a mother of two boys ages 5 and 3, was pronounced dead after being taken to an area hospital. Police said she was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the fatal accident. The other driver was transported in good condition.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported that Chun had recently moved to Oahu from California with her children and was heading home from her birthday party when the crash occurred.

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.

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!!!
