HONOLULU (KITV) — The driver of the fatal Kapiolani Blvd hit-and-run has turned himself in, Honolulu police confirm.
45-year-old Mitchel Miyashiro was arrested Thursday for 1st degree negligent homicide, collisions involving death, and collisions involving bodily injury for the hit-and-run that killed 16-year-old Sara Yara.
Miyashiro has had plenty of run-ins with the law: including driving without a license, driving with a suspended license, excessive speeding and more, dating all the way back to 1996.
Early Wednesday morning two teens were hit, one fatally, on Kapiolani Blvd, after a truck Miyashiro was allegedly driving plowed into them while they were crossing the street.
16-year-old Sara Yara, a McKinley High School student, was later pronounced dead.
