The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office has identified a 36-year-old moped driver killed Thursday night in Makaha as Kimo M. Peroff of Waianae.

Police said Peroff’s moped was traveling westbound on Farrington Highway at a high speed when he lost control and slid into the rear of a 2012 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck at about 7:25 p.m. near the Kiapa Place intersection. The driver of the truck, a 41-year-old Waianae man, had stopped on the highway to reverse into his driveway, police said.

There have been 34 traffic fatalities on Oahu compared with 22 at the same time last year.

Cause of Diamond Head Circle fire unknown

Fire investigators were unable to determine the cause of Wednesday’s blaze at a Diamond Head Circle residence that resulted in more than $1.5 million in damage.

The fire, which was reported at 8:33 p.m., destroyed the single-story home. The five adult occupants and a pet dog escaped without injury.

The Honolulu Fire Department reported the fire caused an estimated $1.175 million in damage to the structure and $350,000 to its contents. The home had a smoke detector, but it was not close enough to effectively alert the occupants to the fire, according to HFD.
