A 24-year-old Waianae man has been convicted of negligent homicide for a traffic accident that killed another driver almost three years ago. Jameson Yong changed his plea to no contest despite having a no plea agreement with prosecutors.  According to Honolulu police, on 19 November 2011, Yong drove the wrong way on the H-2 Freeway a half-mile south of the Ka Uka Boulevard exit and smashed into a pickup truck driven by Lance Miyashiro of Wahiawa.  The pickup flipped and was rammed by a sport utility vehicle.  Miyashiro died at the scene.  Yong was extricated from his car in critical condition.  The SUV driver suffered serious injuries.  Yong faces up to 5 years in prison and a fine of $10,000 when he’s sentenced in August.  Aloha, Russ.
