HILO, HI – Hawai‘i Island police have released additional details regarding a fatal motorcycle accident that occurred early Saturday morning in Hilo.

Police identified the man killed in the incident as 45-year-old Michael Wilson of Mountain View.

Hilo patrol officers responded to the scene at 12:36 a.m. and determined that Wilson was operating a 1990 Yamaha motorcycle southbound on Kilauea Avenue just before the Puainako Street intersection. Wilson crossed over the center line and crashed head-on into a utility pole. He was taken by ambulance to the Hilo Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

The East Hawaii Traffic Enforcement Unit is continuing to investigate the collision, and believes that speed and inattention were the main contributing factors.

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!
