Kaukonahua Road traffic victim identified

Advertiser Staff

The motorcyclist killed yesterday in a collision on Kaukonahua Road between Wahiawa and Waialua was identified today by the Honolulu medical examiner's office as Jonathan Vincent Daniels, 27.

Daniels was an Army specialist stationed at Schofield Barracks. He suffered head and internal injuries from the 8:13 a.m. accident and died at Wahiawa General Hospital at 9:01 a.m., police said.

Daniels' 2003 Suzuki GSX-R motorcycle crossed the center line and into the path of a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder, police said. Speed was a contributing factor, investigators said.

An autopsy today determined Daniels died of multiple blunt force injuries due to a motor vehicle collision. Manner of death was listed as accidental.

The ME report, however, deferred on what is described as "other significant conditions" pending lab tests.
