The city medical examiner’s office has identified the pedestrian killed when he was hit by a van in Palolo Tuesday night as Dickey Lau, 87, of Palolo.
Police said Lau was struck by a 2002 Nissan van driven by a 78-year-old man as Lau was crossing on 10th Avenue near Kaau Street about 8 p.m.
It was not clear if Lau was in the crosswalk, police said. Lau sustained critical head and internal injuries and died at the Queen’s Medical Center, police said.
The death is the 28th on traffic fatality this year, compared to 30 at the same time last year. It was also the third traffic fatality on Oahu since Sunday.
