Advertiser Staff

LAHAINA, Maui — A 44-year-old woman from Alberta, Canada, died early this morning after a two-car crash at the entrance to the Ka'anapali resort.

Police said the collision happened around midnight when a 2006 Chrysler Sebring traveling north on Honoapi'ilani Highway ran a red light and tried to turn left onto Ka'anapali Parkway. The sedan was broadsided by a southbound 2005 GMC Envoy operated by a 20-year-old Kihei man. Terri Martin, a passenger in the Sebring, was killed. The driver, her 45-year-old husband, was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center with serious injuries.

Police said the Kihei man was not injured.

Martin's death is Maui's second traffic fatality of the year.
