Bicyclist killed after collision with vehicle in Hawaii Kai

A bicyclist in his 20s was killed after being hit by a vehicle on Kalanianaole Highway Friday night, the Honolulu Police Department reported.

The collision took place at around 8:10 p.m. when the bicyclist was trying to cross the highway via a marked crosswalk, police said, although he was trying to do so during a displayed “Do Not Walk” sign.

The vehicle, operated by a 26-year-old man, was traveling eastbound at the time of the collision, police said.

Honolulu Emergency Medical Services personnel arrived at the Keahole Street intersection to tend to the bicyclist. Paramedics then transported the bicyclist to a hospital in critical condition. He was later pronounced dead.

Speed, drugs and alcohol do not appear to be contributing factors in the collision.

The traffic fatality is the 26th on Oahu this year, compared to 18 at this time last year.
