OCEAN VIEW, HI – The Hawaii Police Department said it has arrested a driver involved in a crash in Ocean View that critically injured a motorcyclist on Saturday night.

A police news release said that 49-year-old Regina Baker of Ocean View left the scene of the accident and is now facing multiple charges, including failure to render aid/accident involving injury or death and driving without a driver’s license.

The incident happened at the intersection of Māmalahoa Highway and Aloha Boulevard at 10:16 p.m.

Police determined that a 59-year-old man was driving south on a 2003 Harley-Davidson Road King motorcycle and overtaking several vehicles in a no-passing zone. As the motorcycle was passing a 2006 Nissan SUV, an SUV made a left turn onto Aloha Boulevard and the motorcycle hit the rear of the vehicle.

The motorcycle rider was ejected over 250 feet from the bike, and was listed in critical condition after being transported to the Queens Medical Center on Oahu. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The SUV fled the scene into the upper portion of the Hawaiian Ocean View Estates subdivision.

Following an investigation, Baker was located by Officers with Hawai‘i Police Department’s Area II Traffic Enforcement Unit and arrested on Tuesday morning. She was released pending further investigation. The Nissan involved in the crash was taken into police evidence as the investigation continues.

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.

I was referred by a friend that I worked with at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. I am beyond grateful that Glenn Honda from Recovery Law Center represented me & helped me with every single step & detail in my injury case. He & his legal team were so respectful, kind, & caring from the very beginning. Mr. Honda is the most genuine, patient, & hardest working Attorney that I have ever had in Hawaii. I was unfortunately hurt by a driver many years ago & the Attorney that helped me at that time did not fight for me. He was not consistent with his legal advice & counsel. I was just one of many clients & didn’t get the support needed in my case. In the end I was left with very little from the settlement. But with Mr. Honda, he not only is intelligent & knowledgeable in your case, he will fight for you & your family. He has the passion & tenacity to not give up until you have the best outcome for your case. He will look at every way possible to help you. He has the integrity needed & kept his word. He & his staff also took all the financial pressure off from the accident & the bills that came with it. They handled all the paperwork & were so supportive. Mr. Honda gave me many options of how he could help me in my specific case. He went above & beyond to achieve the best settlement offer for me & my family! I absolutely will always recommend him to my family, friends, & anyone needing help in an injury case. He & his team have exceptional service & if I ever need legal representation again in the future, he will definitely be the Attorney that represents me!

If you're looking for an accident/recovery lawyer, look no further.

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 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!
