Motorcyclist died
A tragic motorcycle accident claimed the life of a 25-year-old motorcyclist on Thursday afternoon in Honolulu's Kakaako area. The incident occurred on Kapiolani Boulevard near Ward Avenue at approximately 4:30 p.m.
According to the Honolulu Police, the motorcyclist was traveling eastbound on Kapiolani when he collided with a car that was making a left turn from the westbound lanes into a private establishment. The impact caused the motorcycle to veer into the westbound lanes, where it crashed head-on into another vehicle driven by a 61-year-old man. As a result of the collision, the motorcyclist was ejected onto the roadway.
Investigators have determined that speed played a significant role in this tragic event as witnesses reported that the motorcycle was traveling at an excessive rate of speed prior to impact. Additionally, it has been revealed that the motorcyclist was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Emergency services rushed to provide medical assistance and transported him in critical condition to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, he succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival.
The Honolulu Police Department did not disclose whether either driver involved sustained any injuries during this incident. However, they have confirmed that speed is believed to be one of several contributing factors leading up to this fatal crash. It remains unknown if drugs or alcohol were also involved and further investigations are underway.
