Kanewai crash victim identified

Advertiser Staff

A 100-year-old man who died Friday after being injured in a car crash Feb. 4 near the entrance to Kanewai Community Park's pavilion was identified today by the medical examiner's office as Hon Sam Hiu.

Hiu was a passenger in a Honda station wagon that veered off Dole Street, struck a concrete bench and became wedged between a tree and utility pole about 2:30 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday. He was taken to The Queen's Medical Center.

The car was driven by Hiu's wife, who told police she dozed off.
