" A 9-year-old girl was killed and seven others were injured Saturday after a pickup truck went down a ravine off Mauna Kea Access Road.
Rescue officials were called to an area just below the Mauna Kea Visitor Center at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday near where a Toyota Tacoma had rolled over and down a ravine about 200 feet off the road.
Officials say it was raining at the time of the crash and the truck was speeding when the driver lost control.
Hawaii Island police say it appears speed, failure of the truck’s brakes, and not wearing seatbelts appear to be factors in the outcome of the incident. At the time of the crash, five people were inside the truck’s cabin while three were within the bed of the truck.
Several of the truck’s eight occupants were ejected from the vehicle when the crash happened."
