Woman killed by vehicle on Hawaii island is identified

A 19-year-old woman who died after being hit by a vehicle Monday in Puna was identified today by Hawaii island police as Skye Noah of Pahoa.

Noah died of internal injuries and her death was determined to be an accident, police said.

The alleged driver, a 22-year-old man who doesn’t have a driver’s license, reported to officers at the Hilo police station at about 1 a.m. Monday that he may have been in a traffic collision on Route 130.

Officers checking the area found Noah dead on the road shoulder near Kaloli Drive.

Police opened cases for negligent homicide, fleeing the scene of an accident and driving without a license.

Police determined Noah was walking toward Pahoa on the mauka shoulder when she was hit by a 2003 Ford pickup truck traveling in the same direction.

Police asked any witnesses or anyone who may have seen the white Ford Ranger on Route 130 during the evening hours of Sunday or early morning hours of Monday to call officer Keith Nacis at 961-8119.
