The Maui Police Department has identified a pedestrian who died after being struck by an SUV Wednesday night on Honoapiilani Highway as Edralina Diezon, 68, of Lahaina.

Based on a preliminary investigation, police said Diezon was crossing the highway outside of a crosswalk when a white 2017 Nissan Rogue traveling south struck her.

As a result, she sustained critical, life-threatening injuries and was transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center, where she later died. The driver of the Nissan Rogue, a 17-year-old girl, and her 17-year-old passenger, were not injured.

“The Maui Police Department extends our deepest condolences to Ms. Diezon’s family and friends,” said MPD in a news release.

Police said this was Maui County’s second traffic fatality this year. On Friday, a 79-year-old motorcyclist from Lahaina became the county’s third traffic fatality so far in 2024 when she crashed into a pickup truck that was stopped in traffic.
