A 29-year-old Waialua man was charged with first-degree negligent homicide today in connection with the death early Sunday morning of man who was waiting in a parked car for a North Shore road to reopen following this weekend’s tsunami alert.
Police said that Donald Halleron was speeding when his truck hit three parked cars shortly after midnight on Wilikina Drive.

His bail was set at $200,000.
