The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 10-17-1922
SAKIMOTO, TADASHI
JAPANESE BOY IS KILLED WHEN STRUCK BY AUTO.  Tadashi Sakimoto, a Japanese boy, 
aged four, was instantly killed last Sunday afternoon at Koloa when he was struck 
by an automobile driven by a Japanese named Koochi. The accident occurred on the 
government road at the J. K. Crockett residence in Koloa. According to the story 
told the police, Koochi was bound from Lihue to Koloa and was coming down the 
hill. The boy was on the right-hand side of the road while his mother was on the 
opposite side. The boy tried to cross ahead of the car, and although Koochi did 
his best to dodge him, badly smashing his car in doing so, the boy was struck with 
the rear end of the car and killed. It is said that the mother of the dead boy 
absolved Koochi from all blame in the accident.
