NAPA, Calif. — A 22-year-old Kaimuki resident was one of four Pacific Union College students killed in a motor vehicle accident Saturday night, the school's Web site reports.

The California Highway Patrol confirmed that four students from Pacific Union died after their car skidded into oncoming traffic on a two-lane Napa Valley highway.

The school's Web site said Hawaiian Mission Academy graduate Luke Kotaro Nishikawa was killed about 11:45 p.m. Saturday when the Honda Civic he was in collided with two oncoming vehicles.

Nishikawa was an American history major. The college's report said Nishikawa was the leader of a campus outreach program called Homeless Ministries and that on Saturday morning, Nishikawa had gone to the Bay Area with a group of students to feed the homeless.

Nishikawa's father is the pastor of Manoa Japanese Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The Pacific Union Web site said that friends of the four victims said they had just finished playing basketball at the college gym and were on their way to St. Helena to grab something to eat when the accident occurred.

Also killed in the accident were Boaz Pak, 20, of Hidden Valley, Calif.; Chong Whon Shin, 20, of Aloha, Ore.; and Simon Chulmin Son, 19, of Hidden Valley, Calif.

Officials said the four men were driving fast in a Honda Civic on Deer Park Road at about 11:45 p.m. when the car skidded into opposing traffic. The Honda collided with a Toyota pickup truck and another vehicle.

The driver of the truck, 28-year-old Sandalo Martinez, was seriously injured and was taken to the hospital. The third driver, 20-year-old Carlos Rio Ortiz, sustained minor injuries.

The Napa Valley coroner is investigating.
