A 23-year-old motorcyclist died after he broadsided a vehicle in Wahiawa early today, Honolulu police said.

Police and Honolulu Emergency Medical Services personnel responded to the crash in the area of Wilikina Drive and Lakeview Circle at about 5:45 a.m.

Police said the motorcyclist was traveling northbound on Wilikina Drive when he broadsided a vehicle exiting a residential area.

Paramedics administered advanced life-saving support and took the motorcyclist in critical condition to a hospital where he died.

The vehicle driver, also 23, suffered minor injuries and declined treatment.

Police said speed was a factor in the crash. The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet at the time. It’s unknown at this time whether drugs or alcohol were factors.

This is the 25th traffic-related fatality to occur on Oahu compared to 18 at the same time last year.

It’s also the third fatal motorcycle crash to occur on the island’s roadways this week.
