Samuel Furtado, 55, was driving his 2005 Porsche SUV on Nov. 10, 2006, toward Ka'u near the 28-mile marker on Highway 11 in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park at about 10 p.m. when he crossed the center line and collided with two on-coming cars.

Furtado and his two passengers, Loretta Rafferty, 46, and Lucia Clearwater, 60, were killed in the crash. Also killed were Candice Shonah Chisholm, 32, and her boyfriend Owen Lloyd Romaine, 33, of Vancouver, British Columbia, who were traveling toward Hilo in a 2006 Chrysler convertible rental car.

The driver of the second sedan that was struck, 38-year-old Antony Gross, was pinned in his Chevrolet Monte Carlo by the crash, and had to be extracted from the car by firefighters. Gross was flown to The Queen's Medical Center with leg injuries. His passenger Daniel Fisher, 44, declined medical treatment.

A recently released investigation report on the accident shows Furtado's blood alcohol concentration at the time of the accident was 0.27 percent, compared with the legal limit of 0.08 percent, parks officials said.
