Kahalu'u crash kills father, baby (Honolulu Advertiser)
Also:
Neither of the dailies mentioned a couple of details that were reported tonight by both KHON and KITV. First, that the infant's car seat was in the front seat of the car (and it remains uknown if the driver, who was ejected, was wearing a seat belt). Second, that there is a tragic link between this morning's crash, and this recent story:
Specifically, a cousin of Patrick Davis, the driver in the Kahaluu crash, told KITV that his sister was the one behind the wheel of the SUV that killed Teysia Aku in Punaluu two weeks ago. The media has notably never gotten anywhere near that close to IDing the SUV driver, but this tragedy makes it pretty impossible not to explain the link.
An infant and a 28-year-old man were killed this morning when the car they were riding in ran off the road and struck a utility pole, EMS officials said... Police said the car was speeding prior to the crash. Initial estimates put the speed somewhere between 80 mph and 100 mph evidenced by the fact the car was sheared in half and the debris spread nearly 50 yards, police said.
