A 22-year-old man from Honolulu is one of four college students killed in a traffic accident in Napa County, Calif., on Saturday, according to an article posted on the Pacific Union College Web site.
The article identified the man as Luke Kotaro Nishikawa. The other students killed in the crash were Boaz Pak, 20, of Hidden Valley, Calif.; Chong Shin, 20, of Aloha, Ore.; and Simon Son, 19, also of Hidden Valley, Calif.
The article said Nishikawa was an American History major. The article said he and the other three students were in a car that collided with another car on Deer Park Road near Sanitarium Road about 11:45 p.m.
The students had just finished playing basketball at a college gym and were on their way to a Safeway store in St. Helena to get something to eat when the accident happened, the article said.
Pak was driving the car and apparently lost control, according to the Press Democrat of Santa Rosa, Calif. The California Highway Patrol told the paper that Pak was driving excessively fast.
All four students died at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle was seriously injured, the Press Democrat said.
Nishikawa was the leader of a campus outreach program called Homeless Ministries, according to the school’s Web site. He and other students had gone into the city to feed the homeless earlier that day, according to the Web site.
Pacific Union College is Seventh-day Adventist liberal arts college in the small town of Angwin, Calif.
