Advertiser Staff

HILO, Hawai'i — Big Island police have identified a 52-year-old man who died Saturday from injuries he suffered in a crash on Hawai'i Belt Road as Allan K. Kalua.

Kalua, of Pahoa, was driving a 1986 Honda two-door sedan north when he rear-ended a 1987 Ford pickup truck that was stopped on the highway to make a left turn onto Kukui Camp Road, police said.

The driver of the Ford, a 26-year-old Mountain View man, was not injured.

Police ask anyone with information about this crash to call Officer Andres Fojas at 808-961-8889. Kalua's death is the fifth traffic fatality on the Big Island this year, compared to six at this time last year.
