A 28-year-old male driver died at the scene after he collided with another vehicle Tuesday afternoon in Haleiwa.

The incident happened at around 1:15 p.m. at Joseph P. Leong Highway near Emerson Road, Emergency Medical Services reported.

Police closed Joseph P. Leong and Kamehameha highways in Haleiwa as they investigated the scene of the fatal crash involving an overturned vehicle.
