The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s office identified a 28-year-old man who died in a Windward Oahu crash on Tuesday as Kaimana Kaawa of Kaneohe.

His exact cause of death is pending an investigation, the office said Wednesday.

Police said Kaawa’s vehicle was seen weaving on Kamehameha Highway near Waikane Valley Road before it crashed into a utility pole about 7:15 a.m. Kaawa, who was westbound, was seen veering across the eastbound lane before the crash.
