The city Department of the Medical Examiner has identified Bobby Edwards as the man who was killed Wednesday when he lost control of his motorcycle and struck a utility pole near Waialua.

Police said Edwards was traveling north on Kaukonahua Road when the motorcycle veered off the road at about 4:35 p.m. and struck a pole about a mile south of Farrington Highway. Edwards was taken to Wahiawa General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at about 6 p.m.

Police said Edwards was wearing a helmet and speed appeared to be a factor. It was the 19th traffic fatality on O'ahu this year.
