Colt's father says he has yet to speak to his son.Here's KITV's report (w/video) and Stephen Tsai's article.
"No, not really, other than the doctors and then before they put him on the Medevac helicopter. I think they were putting him under a little bit, they were giving him some more things to calm him," said Brennan.
Brennan's family was not able to catch a flight on Friday, but they will fly in from California Saturday morning.
Brennan's father tells Hawaii News Now the family is especially concerned about the two women hurt in the crash.
