The city medical examiner's office yesterday identified the man who died Saturday after his car plunged into Ala Wai Yacht Harbor as Honolulu attorney Michael McCarthy, 66.

McCarthy, who has been the managing attorney for Geico Insurance staff counsel in Hawai'i for about three years, and his 15-year-old step-grand daughter, were in the 1993 Cadillac he was driving, police said.

Police vehicular homicide investigator Sgt. John Agno said McCarthy's car struck a pickup truck and Lexus sedan in the parking lot before reversing into the water at 5:20 p.m.

McCarthy was pronounced dead at Straub Hospital & Clinic at 6:30 p.m. An autopsy will be performed tomorrow. His daughter was in serious but stable condition yesterday at The Queen's Medical Center, police said.

McCarthy represented former state Sen. Marshall Ige, who pleaded guilty in 2002 as part of a plea agreement on charges stemming from two cases in which he obtained a total of $37,000 under false pretenses.

In a separate case, police were seeking information on a fatal hit-and-run in Wai'anae that occurred at 4:43 a.m. Saturday on Farrington Highway, 111 feet east of Ma'aloa Street.

A 63-year-old woman was killed when a vehicle hit her outside of a crosswalk. The medical examiner's office was awaiting confirmation before releasing the woman's name.

Anyone with information should call CrimeStoppers at 955-8300 or *CRIME on a cellular phone, or vehicular homicide investigators at 529-3499.

The deaths Saturday were O'ahu's second and third traffic fatalities of the year.
