Prosecutors say the sisters who run a yoga business called Twin Power Yoga, were traveling together May 29 when their Ford Explorer crashed into a rock wall, plunging onto a rocky shoreline.
Anastasia Duval was pronounced dead at the scene, while her sister, Alexandria was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
According to c ourt documents, the vehicle’s air-bag control module showed that the driver didn’t attempt to brake before accelerating, making a hard left and crashing.
Eye witnesses said they saw the two women arguing while the vehicle was stopped and said the passenger was pulling the driver’s hair, then they saw the vehicle ‘accelerate forward and then take a sharp left over the cliff’. Maui Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Emlyn Higa said.
One eyewitness Lawrence Lau said:
‘My first thought when she was coming past us was, ‘Don’t hit me, don’t hit me,’ because she was slightly out of control,’ he told KHON2. ‘She was doing 40 miles an hour from a dead stop at that point.’
I saw a pair of hands jerking the head, pulling the hair’. ‘There were hands pulling her head down like this, and her head was jerking.’
