Canadian visitor dies in Maui crash

KAHULUI, Maui — A 23-year-old Canadian visitor died yesterday after being injured in a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Hana Highway and Dairy Road.

Maui police today identified the man as Tyler Froese of McBride, British Columbia. Froese was a passenger in a GMC van carrying seven people that was broadsided by a Nissan Infiniti driven by a 51-year-old Pukulani man at 8:37 p.m.

A girl, 13, who was in the van is at Maui Memorial Medical Center today with critical injuries, police said. Three others from the van were taken to the hospital for observation.

The occupants of the van are members of a family, police said.

The van was attempting a left turn onto Dairy Road, which leads to Lahaina, when it was broadsided, police said. Tyler Froese was ejected from the van and died at the hospital.

Chased robber lets go of looted cash

Witnesses chasing a man got him to drop a cash register he had taken from a Kalihi market in a robbery last night.

The register containing cash stolen from Seoul Market at 2019 Waterhouse St. in the 8:23 p.m. robbery was recovered. The robber, however, fled in a pickup truck driven by another man.

Police said the robber threatened a 53-year-old woman with a small pocket knife before grabbing the cash register.

It is the second robbery in as many nights in Kalihi. On Wednesday night, a man wearing a mask and carrying a knife robbed a Shell convenience store at 2066 Dillingham Blvd. at 10:15 p.m.

Police have not determined if the the same man is responsible.

The man’s wife was booked on attempted second-degree murder.
