A 68-year-old bicyclist died Wednesday afternoon after he was struck by a vehicle on Kalanianaole Highway near Bell Street in Waimanalo, the Honolulu Police Department said.

The collision occurred at around 1:10 p.m., police said, when a man on a bicycle was traveling east on the highway shoulder near the entrance of the Oceanic Institute. He attempted to cross the road and was struck by a vehicle driven by a 70-year-old man.

The bicyclist, who HPD said was not wearing a helmet, was ejected from his bicycle.

Honolulu Emergency Medical Services said paramedics responded, treating the man for multiple life-threatening injuries, and took him to a hospital in critical condition where he was pronounced dead.

The driver and passenger of the vehicle were not injured and remained at the scene, police said.

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

This was the 28th traffic fatality on Oahu this year, compared with 26 at this time in 2022.
