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.
