Dirt bike rider killed in Kula Highway accident

 

A 41-year-old Kula man died when the dirt bike he was driving collided with a sports utility vehicle Friday night in Kula, Maui.

Jason Williamson was driving a 2004 Honda XR250 dirt bike without license plates north on Kula Highway when he collided with the passenger side of a 2004 Jeep Cherokee making a left turn into Keokea Community Park, Maui police said.

A 41-year-old Pukalani man driving the Jeep was not hurt, but a 39-year-old woman and a 3-year-old boy, both in the back seat, went to Maui Memorial Medical emergency room for treatment of minor injuries.

Police said the woman sustained a bruise to her forehead and multiple cuts to her face. The boy had cuts to his face.

All three people in the Jeep were wearing seat belts, and Williamson was wearing a helmet. 

He is Maui’s 12th traffic fatality this year compared to 3 at this time last year.
