It was reported to the Honolulu Police Department, Traffic Division, Vehicular Homicide Section, that a 34-year-old female moped rider was traveling eastbound on Kapiolani Boulevard when she lost control, slid, and was ejected onto the roadway.

As a result of the collision, the 34-year-old female was transported via Emergency Medical Services to an area hospital in serious condition, where her condition deteriorated, and she was later listed in critical condition.
