Police identify motorcyclist who died in Hilo crash
A 45-year-old motorcyclist who died in Sunday’s two-vehicle collision in Hilo has been identified as Ryan Miras of Hilo, the Hawaii Police Department said.
A 2019 Honda motorcycle operated by Miras was traveling south on Kanoelehua Avenue and East Kawili Street when the motorcycle rear-ended a 1997 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck stopped at a red light at the East Kawili Street intersection at about 4:30 p.m., according to police.
Miras was unresponsive at the scene and taken to Hilo Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
The Toyota driver, a 32-year-old man, was not injured.
Police said speed and the motorcyclist not wearing a helmet were factors in the collision.
The East Hawaii Traffic Enforcement Unit is continuing its investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact police officer Clifford Antonio at 808-961-2339 or email Clifford.Antonio@HawaiiCounty.gov.
