Hawai‘i Island police are investigating a single-vehicle collision that killed 20-year-old Logan Quintal of Hilo.

On January 11, police responded to a traffic collision on Mahiai Street near Ahuna Road and  determined that a white 2017 Jeep Renegade multi-purpose vehicle was traveling east on Mahiai Street when it drove off the right shoulder of the roadway, struck a rock pile, and overturned.

Quintal, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, was found unresponsive at the scene. Although fire and medical personnel attempted lifesaving measures they were unable to revive Quintal. He was pronounced deceased that afternoon.

An autopsy has been ordered to determine the exact cause of death. At this time, speed, alcohol, and/or drugs are not believed to be factors in this collision.

Anyone with information regarding this crash is asked to please contact Officer Jerome Duarte at (808) 961-2339 or via email at Jerome.Duarte@hawaiicounty.gov.
