Motorcyclist critical after plunging 100 feet off Hawaii Kai cliff
A motorcyclist plunged about 100 feet off the cliff from Kalanianaole Highway in Hawaii Kai and was taken to a trauma hospital in critical condition Monday night.
The 22-year-old motorcyclist was traveling eastbound on the highway at about 8:30 p.m. when he rode off the roadway, hit the right shoulder guardrail and was ejected, falling about 100 feet down a cliff, according to Honolulu police.
Honolulu Fire Department personnel retrieved the man and paramedics transported him to the hospital in critical condition.
Police said he was wearing a helmet.
Speed appears to be a contributing factor in the collision. However, it is unknown if drugs or alcohol were involved, police say.
