Victim identified following weekend ATV crash on Hawai‘i Island

A man from Honoka‘a killed in a single-vehicle crash over the weekend was identified as 41-year-old Kasey Hui-Ahsam.

This is the fourth traffic fatality on Hawai‘i Island in 2026, compared to five this time last year.

The crash occurred at 11:35 p.m. on Feb. 7 on Mud Lane, about a half mile west of Honoka‘a–Waipi‘o Road. According to investigators from Hawai‘i Island police, Hui-Ahsam was operating a Honda four-wheel all-terrain vehicle while towing a trailer and traveling north when he lost control.

Hui-Ahsam, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, was ejected as the ATV overturned and pinned him beneath the vehicle. He was found unresponsive at the scene.

Fire and medical personnel determined Hui-Ahsam was beyond life-saving measures. He was pronounced deceased at 12:20 a.m. on Feb. 8.

An autopsy has been ordered to determine the exact cause of death.

The East Hawai‘i Traffic Enforcement Unit responded to the scene and is continuing this investigation. At this time, speed, alcohol and/or drugs are not believed to be factors in this collision.
