An 84-year-old man who died in a Kailua-Kona crash on Feb. 3 has been identified as Cornell Bruce Linerud.

The incident occurred when three vehicles collided at the intersection of Kamanu Street and Oluwalu Street in Kailua-Kona.

The Hawaii Police Department responded to the crash around noon and determined that a light green Subaru SUV driven by Linerud made a left turn in front of a brown Toyota Tacoma pickup truck.

The Subaru was struck on the passenger side, causing the vehicle to spin and strike a gold-colored Toyota Camry that was stopped at the intersection.

Linerud was taken to the Kona Community Hospital by a privately-owned vehicle for initial treatment and was later transported to the Queen’s Medical Center, where he died.

The 59-year-old male driver of the Toyota Tacoma and 77-year-old male driver of the Toyota Camry were not seriously injured in the crash.

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