It was reported to the Honolulu Police Department, Traffic Division, Vehicular Homicide Section, that a 59-year-old adult male motorist was traveling southbound on Kahekili Highway when, for unknown reasons, he traveled left of the roadway, crossed over the northbound lanes, down a slight embankment, and collided into a tree.

As a result of the collision, the adult male motorist succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
