Auto Crash February 2003

In February 2003, Shimabukuro was involved in a car crash while driving toward Honolulu from Waianae. Her vehicle flipped over and landed in the Waianae-bound traffic lane. Shimabukuro was unharmed and credits her safety to the fact that she was wearing a seat belt at the time of the incident.[4]
