KALIHI, HI – Honolulu police are investigating a fatal motorcycle accident that occurred recently in the Kalihi area.

According to the Honolulu Police Department’s Traffic Division, the incident happened Aug. 30 on Nimitz Highway at about 2:35 a.m. A 49-year-old man was riding a motorcycle westbound at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the bike and collided with a concrete curb.

The motorcyclist was ejected onto the roadway and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police believe speed was a contributing factor in the crash, but there was no immediate word on whether drugs or alcohol were involved.

It was the 56th traffic fatality on Oahu in 2025, more than twice the 27 that had occurred at the same time last year.

I had the pleasure of working with Glenn and George at the Honolulu Pride event in Honolulu. They were an awesome team to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to a family member or friend if they ever needed a Personal Injury Attorney!

Glenn was able to garner a far larger settlement to compensate me for what I went through and the scar I will bear for life. His staff was always helpful and available and made the process extremely easy. I hope to never be injured again but I would not hesitate to count on Recovery Law Center or recommend them to anyone who has been injured or pushed around by insurance companies.
