An 85-year-old male pedestrian was killed this morning while crossing Kaumualii Highway in Lawai.

Kauai police said the man, a Lawai resident, was attempting to cross the highway shortly before 6 a.m. when he was struck by a Honda sedan traveling east in an area fronting the Lawai 7-Eleven. Police said the man did not appear to have been walking in a marked crosswalk.

Paramedics transported the man to Wilcox Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

The driver of the Honda, a 37-year-old woman, was not injured.

Police closed the highway for three hours while an investigation was conducted.

Speed, alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors in the incident, police said.
