Advertiser Staff

A 27-year-old man from Hilo died this morning after he was hit by a car last night while attempting to cross Kailua Road near Uluoa Street.

Police said the man, who was in a crosswalk, was struck by a white Ford van about 9:10 p.m. and suffered head, torso and leg injuries.

He was taken to The Queen's Medical Center where he died at 10:25 this morning, police said.

The 87-year-old Kane'ohe man who was driving the van was not injured, police said.

Police vehicular homicide investigators concluded that speeding and the use of alcohol or drugs were not factors in the case.
