Kapolei, HI (August 11, 2025) – A motorcyclist died following a collision with another vehicle on Sunday night at the intersection of Farrington Highway and Waiomea Street in Kapolei. The crash occurred around 7:15 p.m. when a westbound vehicle attempted a left turn onto Waiomea St against a red arrow signal and was struck by an eastbound motorcycle.
The impact ejected the 25-year-old male motorcyclist into the rear of the other vehicle. Honolulu Emergency Medical Services transported him to a nearby hospital in critical condition, where he later died from his injuries, according to the Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office. Officials confirmed he was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The 44-year-old woman driving the other vehicle reported pain but declined medical treatment at the scene.
We would like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of the deceased victim.
Motorcycle Collisions in Hawaii
Fatal motorcycle crashes like the one at Farrington Highway and Waiomea Street highlight the dangers riders face when navigating intersections, especially when other drivers fail to yield or obey traffic signals. Motorcycles offer less physical protection than passenger vehicles, meaning even a single high-impact collision can lead to severe or fatal injuries despite helmet use.
Hawaii’s roadways, particularly in busy urban areas like Kapolei, require heightened awareness from both riders and drivers. Safety advocates encourage motorists to double-check for approaching motorcycles before turning, and for riders to anticipate potential hazards by maintaining safe speeds and keeping a defensive riding posture. Preventing such tragedies depends on mutual attentiveness, respect for traffic signals, and consistent adherence to right-of-way rules.
