It was reported to the Honolulu Police Department, Traffic Division, Vehicular Homicide Section that a 53-year-old Kapolei male motorist was traveling northbound on Fort Barrette Road, which turns into Makakilo Drive. As the 53-year-old Kapolei male motorist went through the intersection, he collided with a 68-year-old Kapolei male pedestrian who was crossing Farrington Highway in a marked crosswalk against the “Do Not Walk Sign.”

As a result of the collision, the 68-year-old Kapolei male pedestrian was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
