According to the medical examiner’s office, Timothy Toledo died at 5:44 p.m. The collision near Plantation Road was reported to police at 3:15 p.m.

Police said the victim was driving a pickup north on Kunia Road when it was struck head-on by a Chevy van at about 3:15 p.m. Witnesses told police the driver of the van, a 48-year-old man, had been speeding and passing cars in the south direction.

Police said the van had just completed a pass when the pickup slowed to avoid a collision. The pickup then was rear-ended by another car, which was driven by a 41-year-old man. That forced the pickup into the path of the van and they collided.

Two other drivers were taken to Queen’s in critical condition.
