It was reported to the Honolulu Police Department, Traffic Division, Vehicular Homicide Section, that a 49-year-old male motorist and his passenger, a 54-year-old male, were traveling eastbound on North School Street when the 49-year-old male attempted to make a left turn into a private establishment and collided head-on into a 32-year-old male motorist who was traveling westbound on North School Street at a high rate of speed.

As a result of the collision, the 49-year-old male motorist and 32-year-old motorist were transported to an area hospital in serious condition.
