HILO, HI – Hawaii Island police said they are investigating a fatal motorcycle accident that occurred early Saturday morning in Hilo.

In a news release, police said South Hilo patrol officers responded to the scene on Kilauea Avenue near the intersection with Puainako Street at about 12:36 a.m.

They determined that the driver of a 1990 Yamaha motorcycle was traveling southbound on Kilauea Avenue when he crossed the center line and crashed head-on into a utility pole.

The driver of the motorcycle, a 45-year-old man from Mountain View, was pronounced dead after being taken to the Hilo Medical Center. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, police said. The victim’s identity has not yet been released.

Investigators believe speed and inattention were the main factors in the accident.

Glenn and the Recovery Law Center were there for me and my wife every step of her recovery. Glenn made sure we understood what we needed to and didn't drown us in the details while also being easy to reach and ask questions. His expertise was top notch and advice was always on point.

Recovery Law Center made my legal experience entirely stress-free. I had two face-to-face meetings and a handful of phone calls with them. I hope I won't need their services in the future, but I will not hesitate for a second to call them if I find myself on the bad side of another rear-end! Mahalo to Jolie, Glenn, and the rest of the staff at Recovery Law Center for making this ordeal completely painless! Aloha!
