A 33-year-old man with a pattern of violent driving behavior across two states was sentenced in Honolulu to seven years in prison. Nathaniel Radimak was on parole in California at the time of a 2025 road-rage assault on two women in Hawaii, according to court records reported by KHON 2 and Hawaii News Now.
The Attack
Video evidence presented in court showed Radimak turning his car around to confront Diane and Iwalani Ung, a mother and daughter, before verbally and physically attacking both. Diane required eight stitches to close a cut on her forehead sustained during the assault. Prosecutor Hon-Lum Y. Cheung-Cheng characterized the defendant’s pattern, stating: “The roads may change, but the defendant’s behavior does not.”
Legal and Health Background
In California, Radimak had earned the nickname of the “Tesla road rage” driver following a string of similar cases. In court proceedings, Radimak acknowledged the incident, saying “I take accountability. I just feel bad about it.” He and his attorneys have noted that he suffers from mental health issues and is undergoing treatment.
The judge’s sentence was one year longer than prosecutors requested.
