Maui Motorcycle Crash Leaves Lahaina Man In Critical Condition

By Wayne Parsons

I have written at length about the increasing statistics of death and injury to motorcycle riders in Hawaii.

Motorcycle Deaths Skyrocket On Oahu

Today a Lahaina man is fighting for his life after a motorcycle crash at Wainee Street and Dickenson street. Our prayers go out for him and his family. He was not wearing a motorcycle helmet.

The motorcycle rider was headed north on Wainee Street Sunday night and ran a stop sign crashing into a car going east through the Dickenson Street intersection. The motorcycle rider was a 48-year-old Lahaina man.

He was NOT wearing a protective motorcycle helmet at the time of the crash and suffered a serious head injury and traumatic brain injury. The news reports list him as being in critical condition. The 62-year-old woman in the car is from Kaneohe on Oahu and was driving a Chevrolet. She was not injured according to police.

The investigation has not determined if speed, alcohol or drugs were factors. Anyone with information about the motorcycle accident should contact the Lahaina police or write to the author with either a public or private comment below.
