A man injured in a motorcycle accident last night on Waialua Beach Road was in critical condition today at The Queen's Medical Center.

Police investigators said speed appears to be a factor in the 8:10 p.m. accident in which a 1986 Honda motorcycle hit a parked car. The injured man, who was not carrying any identification, was traveling east on Waialua Beach Road when his motorcycle hit with a 1953 Chevrolet.

The man was thrown from the motorcycle and the impact caused the car to hit a parked pickup truck, police said. The motorcyclist was not wearing a helmet. He was taken by air to Queen's.
