An 84-year-old man from Japan died Tuesday from injuries suffered in a one-vehicle traffic crash Friday on the Big Island's Saddle Road.

Police identified the man as Sunao Kashiwai of Shimame, Japan, who died at 9:30 p.m. at The Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu.

Kashiwai was a passenger in a 2002 Honda multipurpose vehicle driven by a Kea'au man, 56.

According to South Kona patrol officers, the driver lost control of the eastbound vehicle, which ran off the right side of the road and overturned eight-tenths of a mile west of the 45-mile marker at about 3 p.m.

The driver, Kashiwai and Kashiwai's 70-year-old wife were taken to North Hawai'i Community Hospital.

The death was the Big Island's fourth traffic fatality of the year and third since Jan. 28.
