MAUI, HI – A collision between a motorcycle and a pickup truck in Maui County Friday afternoon left an elderly woman dead, reports KITV.

The 79-year-old woman was driving a 2018 Harley-Davidson Tri-glide motorcycle south on Honoapiilani Highway when the incident took place near Kapoli Street at about 3:15 p.m.

An initial investigation determined that the motorcycle rider failed to slow down for stopped traffic and crashed into the rear of one of the vehicles that was stopped, a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.

The motorcyclist was ejected from her bike and pronounced dead at the scene. The victim, who was wearing her helmet at the time of the crash, was a Lahaina resident.

The pickup driver, a 37-year-old Lahaina woman, and two of the three passengers suffered minor injuries.

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

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!

Aloha, The team at Recovery Law Center was exceptional beyond expectations. Their professionalism, insight of my situation, and knowledge was on point from beginning to the end. They were on point and proactive on behalf of me and I felt very comfortable. I always felt assured that they were in control of my situation as if I was family. From fast replies to any questions I had to sending holiday cards in the mail. They encouraged and guided me in this first time ordeal on my path to recovery. I would recommend them to anyone. I have a great deal of gratitude and appreciation. I could go on for days with praise, but long story short they treated me like Ohana and I was beyond pleased with the settlement. Thank you guys! Aloha.

Mr. Honda's good reputation precedes him. From the moment I contacted his practice I knew I was in good hands. George and Jolie were friendly, easy to talk to, and genuine. They made me feel comfortable, heard, and supported. The Recovery Law Center team helped me every step of the way. They listened to me, answered my questions, and dealt with the disparaging treatment so I didn't have to. Mr. Honda kept me informed about my options, shared his recommendations then let me decide how to proceed. Knowing they had my back and were fighting for me, gave me the chance to focus on my personal recovery. I don't know what I would have done without their help and support. Thank you Glenn Honda and The Recovery Law Center team!!!! I highly recommend them and would definitely seek out their help again if ever I needed it.
