The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s office Tuesday identified the 59-year-old man who died after being struck by a van while riding his bicycle as Stanley Simon of Waianae.
The cause of his death is pending.
Simon died Monday night after he was struck at the intersection of Waianae Valley Road and Niihau Street at about 10:50 p.m.
Police said Simon ran a stop sign on Niihau Street and entered Waianae Valley Road directly into the path of a Honda van driven by a 53-year-old Waianae man.
Simon was struck and thrown from his bike. He died at the scene.
It was this year’s first traffic-related fatality on Oahu, compared with two at the same time last year.
Man held in alleged car theft, assault
Police arrested a 25-year-old man after he allegedly stole a vehicle and assaulted two officers in Kalihi early Tuesday.
Officers arrested the suspect at about 1:36 a.m. Police said the man and another suspect entered a Young Street residence, brandishing a weapon. The suspects then stole the victim’s vehicle and property and fled.
The victim called police and gave information on his vehicle’s location via a tracking device.
When responding officers spotted the vehicle in Kalihi, police said, the suspect attempted to flee and assaulted two officers.
The officers and the suspect were treated for minor injuries.
Police arrested the man on suspicion of first-degree robbery, auto theft, first- and second-degree assault on a law enforcement officer, unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle, criminal contempt of court and resisting arrest.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether police arrested the second suspect.
