Two people in a Corvette died when a pickup truck crossed the center-line on Kamehameha Highway in Waiahole and collided with the sports car Thursday.
The cause of death is pending tests for two people killed in a head-on collision in Waiahole late Thursday night.
The medical examiner identified the driver and passenger who died when the sports car they were in was hit by a pickup truck that crossed the centerline on Kamehameha Highway near Waiahole Homestead Road.
Mark Matsushima, 55, of Honolulu, and Sefilina Gray, 33, of Honolulu, were in a 1986 red Corvette heading south when a white 1991 Toyota pickup truck driven by a 21-year-old man heading north crossed into their lane.
