Bicycle rider dies after collision
A bicyclist hit by a vehicle Wednesday night in Kalihi died at the Queen’s Medical Center, police said.
The man, 49, had no local address.
The collision happened at 7:42 p.m. near Dillingham Boulevard about 210 feet east of Middle Street.
Police said a gold 2004 multipurpose vehicle driven by a 62-year-old Kalihi woman was headed east from the Airport Viaduct’s Dillingham Boulevard offramp when the vehicle struck the victim on a silver 2008 Giant 21-speed bicycle. Police have not determined the direction in which the bicycle was traveling.
The woman and her passenger, a 62-year-old Kalihi man, were not injured.
The bicycle rider was not wearing a helmet, police said.
For a little more than two hours, police closed the Dillingham Boulevard offramp and blocked traffic on Middle Street’s southbound lanes, preventing traffic from going eastbound on Dillingham.
