Media Release
A 25-year-old Keaʻau woman died Sunday (August 17) from injuries she sustained in a one-vehicle crash on 20th Avenue off Kaloli Drive in the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision in Keaʻau.
The driver was identified as Christina K. Fujiyama of a Keaʻau address.
Responding to a 3:28 p.m. call, Puna patrol officers determined that the driver was operating a 1994 Acura four-door sedan and traveling east on 20th Avenue when she lost control and struck a rock wall.
The driver was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle.
Fire/rescue personnel took her to Hilo Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 4:20 p.m.
It is unknown at this time if alcohol or drugs were involved but speed was a factor in this crash.
Traffic Enforcement Unit officers have initiated a coroner’s inquest case and have ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
Police ask anyone with information about this crash to call Officer Clarence Acob at 961-2293.
Because this crash occurred in a private subdivision, the death is not counted toward the official traffic fatality count.
