On March 30, 2019, at about 1:10 A.M. a fatal motor vehicle collision occurred at the intersection of Likelike Highway and Kahekili Highway in the Kaneohe Area.

A 29-year-old Kaneohe male and his passenger a 24-year-old Kaneohe female were traveling northbound on Kahekili Highway at a high rate of speed.

The 29-year-old Kaneohe male disregarded a red traffic signal and traveled into the intersection of Likelike Highway and Kahekili Highway where he broadsided a vehicle being operated by a 27-year-old Mililani male who was traveling westbound on Likelike Highway.

As a result of the collision, the 27-year-old Mililani male’s vehicle was then overturned before coming to final rest.

The 27-year-old Mililani male was taken to an area hospital in critical condition where he was later pronounced dead.

The 24-year-old Kaneohe female sustained minor injuries and refused medical treatment at the scene of the collision.

The 29-year-old Kaneohe male was arrested for Negligent Homicide in the 1st degree , OVUII, and Criminal Contempt.

At this time speed and alcohol, both appear to be contributing factors of this collision.
