Maui police arrested a Kula man after he was indicted in connection with a fatal motor vehicle crash on Piilani Highway last year.

Michael Angelo Cattaneo, 29, was arrested Friday and charged with negligent homicide in the death of Karl B. Hagen of Wailea on April 12. A second negligent homicide charge was brought in connection with a vulnerable bicyclist, and Cattaneo was also charged with driving under the influence of drugs and with having no insurance.

Bail was set at $100,000, police said.

The arrest came after “hundreds of hours spent reconstructing the crash,” by Maui Police Department investigators, said Sgt. William Hankins.

“Families of crash victims who are killed or seriously injured deserve justice. It is the goal of the Maui Police Department Vehicle Homicide Section to thoroughly investigate these crashes and work with the prosecutor’s office to hold those responsible for their actions. We owe it to the victim and their family members to help bring closure from these avoidable crashes,” Hankins stated.
