WEST MAUI, HI – A collision on West Maui Tuesday morning led to the death of a bicycle rider, Hawaii News Now reports.

The victim, a 62-year-old man, was riding his bicycle across the intersection of Lahaina Bypass and Honoapiilani Highway when the accident occurred.

Police say the man was struck by a southbound 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck and thrown to the ground. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The rider, whose name was not immediately released, was not wearing a helmet at the time, according to police.

The driver of the pickup was a 28-year-old woman from Lahaina who stopped to help after the incident.

Police investigating the crash said speed does not appear to have been a contributing factor.

This was the first time that I ever had to deal with an accident involving Insurance and Lawyers. Recovery Law Center made me comfortable and always made me feel that I was always the victim in dealing with the task ahead. They dealt with everyone in a timely and professional manner. Very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs legal representation.

An impressive Attorney. Mr. Honda was referred to me as a good lawyer. I have been represented by lawyers in the past 35 years since my husband was killed and I viewed Mr. Honda as a good attorney but since the lawyer on the opposing side was aggressive and almost intimidating as I sat by Mr. Honda's side I did not have positive or negative feelings. When it became Mr. Honda's turn to ask questions of the opposite party, his demeanor changed. Initially he did not appear to be listening intensely yet he remembered every point and in a concise, skilled and competent manner he discredited every important factor in the case. He was creative and exuded a winning energy that really amazed and surprised me. He was great and very impressive and I would very highly recommend him to everyone.

After I had a particularly painful crash while riding my bike in Hawaii, resulting in a visit to the ER, I reached out to Glenn to work on my case. Glenn was thorough and worked diligently to get me a fair settlement. Highly recommended! - Mike Zagorski (Masters World Champion/4x US National Champion Cyclist)
