Cal Poly baseball player Nick Tudisco was indicted by a Hawaiian grand jury Wednesday on a charge of manslaughter in connection with a 2001 fatal crash in which he was racing with another vehicle at the time of the crash, a prosecutor said.

Police investigators believe Tudisco was traveling more than twice the posted 50 mph speed limit on a freeway in Kaimuki when he lost control of his car and then struck a van. Elizabeth Kekoa, a 58-year-old passenger in the van, was fatally injured.

Deputy City Prosecutor Sharlene Tom said Tudisco admitted to police investigators at the crash scene that he was racing with another car when he collided with the van being driven by Kekoa's husband, Wallace.

Tudisco, 18 at the time, is now a junior at Cal Poly.

Tudisco practiced Wednesday at Cal Poly and learned of the indictment afterward.

"I really don't know what I'm going to do," Tudisco told The Tribune. "I just found out from my lawyer about two minutes ago."

Tudisco would not comment on the case and said he did not know what his next step would be or if he would be making the team's trip Friday to St. Mary's.

Tom said Tudisco may have to be extradited.

Tudisco's lawyer, Michael Green, said he will ask for all of the investigation reports police have filed in the case. In particular, Green said he wants to see if Tudisco signed a form waiving his rights to have a lawyer present before he answered questions and allegedly admitted he was racing.

Elizabeth Kekoa died at The Queen's Medical Center. Her mother, Rose Davis, was 79 at the time of the crash and was in the back seat. Davis and Wallace Kekoa have since recovered and are parties to civil lawsuits filed against Tudisco and his parents.

The collision happened at 4:17 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of the H-1 Freeway near the Sixth Avenue off-ramp in Kaimuki. Elizabeth Kekoa was a religion teacher at Holy Trinity School and director of religious education at Holy Trinity parish. Friends said they believed she was headed toward the church to help prepare for a 7 a.m. Mass when the collision occurred.
