Man dies in 3-car crash on Kauai


The Garden Island

LAWAI � A Kalaheo man died yesterday after his car was struck head-on by a Kauai Coffee delivery van that crossed the center line on Kaumualii Highway in Lawai, Kauai police said.

Glenn Doi, 59, was traveling toward Lihue about 9:20 a.m. when he collided with the westbound van operated by 61-year-old William Corbett of Lihue. The crash happened west of the Lawai Post Office near Mile Marker 10.
Doi�s car was then rear-ended by a car operated by Ashlie Moriguchi, police said in a press release issued yesterday afternoon.
Moriguchi and Corbett were treated and released from Wilcox Memorial Hospital, where Doi was pronounced dead.
Doi is Kauai�s third traffic fatality of 2010. All three fatal accidents have occurred on the South Shore � one near Maluhia Road outside Koloa and another near the entrance to Kahili Mountain Park.
�Our entire organization has been saddened by today�s collision, which involved a company vehicle and driver. We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends who lost a loved one today,� Kauai Coffee Company President and General Manager Wayne Katayama said in an e-mailed statement of condolence.
�We have been and will continue to cooperate fully with county authorities who respond to and investigate these matters.�
Police closed both lanes of Kaumualii Highway for approximately four hours as they investigated the crash. Westbound traffic was redirected to Akemama Road and eastbound traffic to Koloa Road.
