HAIKU, HI – A motorcycle accident late Sunday night claimed the life of a young man from Maui, according to a KITV report.

Investigators said 19-year-old Koa Hutton of Haiku was riding a Kawasaki off-road motorcycle east on Haleakala Highway when the incident took place shortly after 11 p.m. A driver traveling east in a 2012 Acura sedan rear-ended the motorcycle near mile post 37 west of Keahua Road.

Hutton was thrown from the motorcycle, and was pronounced dead at the scene. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The Acura driver, a 24-year-old Pukalani woman, was not injured. She was wearing her seat belt at the time.

Investigators are trying to determine whether speed, drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the accident.
