Woman seriously injured by boat propeller

A 27-year-old woman suffered serious injuries from a boat propeller Wednesday afternoon offshore of the Kahala area, according to city officials.

At about 1:30 p.m., Honolulu Ocean Safety, Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services responded to a call for the woman, who was with a group when she was injured by the vessel’s propeller.

The boat that struck the woman was reported to be 45 feet long and called the Sea Fox, a city source said.

Honolulu Fire Department Capt. Scot Seguirant said firefighters responded to 377 Keahole St. to assist paramedics with the woman’s injuries.

An employee of Island Divers Hawaii, which is located at the address, said the company did not immediately have any comment about the incident, which involved the Sea Fox, one of the company’s boats.

The woman sustained serious injuries to both legs and feet, an Emergency Medical Services report said.

2 people who died in crash identified

The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office has identified a man and woman who died in a single-vehicle crash near Kipapa Gulch as Terry A. Nichols and Sheila Nichols, both 61, of Waipahu.

The causes of death are pending.

Police said the crash occurred at about 3:45 p.m. Friday on Kamehameha Highway when a male driver later identified as Terry Nichols was operating a 2008 Toyota Tacoma and attempted to overtake a vehicle.

He was traveling northbound in the left lane of the highway. As he changed into the right lane, Nichols swerved back into the left lane when he saw another vehicle.

Police said he lost control of the truck and went up an embankment. The truck then rolled onto its roof.

Police said Nichols and his passenger, Sheila Nichols, died at the scene.
