Hawaii police have arrested 22-year-old Gary A. Simpkins at a 29th Avenue address in Hawaiian Paradise Park for his role in a fatal vehicle crash that took the life of a 22-year-old woman passenger. The Honda Civic left the road, hit several trees, and struck a utility pole Saturday night. A male passenger was injured in the fatal accident. Simpkins faces a variety of charges, including negligent homicide, negligent injury, leaving the scene of a fatal accident, and failure to render aid and to give information. Simpkins also was charged with first-degree assault in an unrelated case and contempt of court. The name of the female victim is being withheld until notification of next of kin. Police believe alcohol and speeding were factors in the accident.
