Advertiser Staff

A 67-year-old woman who died last night after her van plunged into a water hazard on the Kapolei Golf Course was identified as Josephine Vanic of Kapolei.

Police said the woman may have suffered from a medical condition before she drove off Farrington Highway in a 1994 white Mazda van and onto the golf course.

The medical examiner is still working to determine her cause of death.

Police said alcohol and speed were not factors in the crash.

The woman was found in her van submerged in the water. Fire fighters pulled her from the vehicle, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
