A 44-year-old Wailuku man died in a motorcycle crash Sunday night in Wailea.
According to Maui Police, the incident occurred at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Wailea Alanui Drive. The man, riding a 2015 Harley-Davidson motorcycle northbound, lost control, veered to the right, and struck a curb.
He was ejected from the motorcycle and pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities noted he was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Speed is suspected as a contributing factor; however, the involvement of drugs or alcohol is still under investigation.
Police are withholding the man's identity for 24 hours to allow family members to notify extended relatives and friends. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
This crash marks Maui County's 10th traffic fatality of the year, compared to 12 at the same time last year.
