Big Island police have identified the second man who died Sunday from injuries he suffered in a two-vehicle crash on Hawaii Belt Road north of Hilo.

The victim has been identified as 65-year-old Frank Rosol of Hakalau, according to the Hawaii Police Department.

Nakanishi of Hilo, according to police. Both drivers were dead at the scene.
