Marine motorcyclist killed in crash on Oneawa Street
A motorcyclist died early yesterday in Kailua after he crashed into a telephone pole and hit a concrete wall.
The incident happened a little past midnight near Oneawa and Manono streets. Police said the man, a Marine from Marine Corps Base Hawaii, was traveling north on Oneawa when he lost control of a 2008 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 motorcycle.
Police said speeding may have been a factor. The man, 24, was wearing a helmet and there were no other vehicles involved.
City emergency services spokesman Bryan Cheplic said paramedics pronounced the man dead at 12:34 a.m.
