HILO, HI - One of the drivers involved in a two-vehicle collision in Hilo has died of his injuries, police said. According to the Hawaii Island Police Department, the victim of the Oct. 9 crash was identified as 77-year-old Joseph Gomes of Hilo. Police determined that Gomes was driving a 2016 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck on Ponahawai Street between Komohana and Kapiolani Streets when the incident occurred at about 8:37 p.m. A preliminary investigation indicated that the Tacoma crossed over the center line and struck a 2013 Toyota Corolla four-door sedan heading east on Ponahawai Street.
