Tributes are flowing in online for a Tongan man killed in a crash on Kamehameha Highway in Kahuku on Oahu, Hawai’i last week.
Henry Tonga, 26, of Kahuku was driving north on Kamehameha Highway when he hit a woman who was driving from a side street onto Kamehameha Highway going south, local news KHON reported.
The woman’s vehicle lost control, went off the roadway and crashed into a pole.
When the Honolulu Fire Department arrived the woman’s vehicle was on its side. HFD used a battery powered hydraulic rescue tool to get Tonga out of his car. HFD said he was unresponsive.
EMS officials treated them both. Tonga was taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition, and the woman was taken to the hospital in serious condition.
Police reportedly said Tonga was pronounced dead at the hospital.
A post on a sister’s Facebook page read: “This hurts so much (love). My dearest little brother Henry I love you (so much)”.
One comment said: “Deepest condolences sis 😢 Praying God’s angels comfort and strengthen you and your family”
Another person wrote: ” Rest In God Love Henry Tonga until we meet again!”.
” Beautiful and handsome Henry you gone too soon, but I believe God’s have bigger plans for you, love you Hika and Miu”.
