Omao, HI – Motorcyclist Killed in Violent Crash With SUV on Kaumualii Hwy

Omao, HI (October 12, 2025) – A deadly collision on Friday afternoon, October 10, claimed the life of a motorcyclist in Omao. The deadly crash happened around 4:45 p.m. near the intersection of Omao Road and Kaumualii Highway, according to the Kauai Police Department.

Witnesses said a 2010 Toyota SUV turned left from Omao Road onto the highway and crossed into the path of a 2015 Honda motorcycle traveling eastbound. The motorcycle slammed into the side of the SUV with immense force, sending the rider flying across the roadway.

Emergency crews arrived within minutes and gave life-saving treatment before rushing him to Wilcox Medical Center. Despite their efforts, doctors could not save him. He died from his catastrophic injuries shortly after arriving at the hospital.

The driver of the SUV also sustained injuries and received medical care at a nearby hospital. Investigators remained at the scene for several hours, gathering evidence and speaking with witnesses to understand what led to the deadly collision. The Kauai Police Department is leading the investigation and will release additional details as they become available.

We extend our deepest condolences to the rider’s family and loved ones as they grieve this heartbreaking loss. Our hearts are also with the injured driver, and we wish them a full and swift recovery.

Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Hawaii

Motorcycle accidents in Hawaii are often deadly because riders lack the protection that vehicles offer. A single driver’s mistake, such as misjudging distance or failing to yield, can lead to catastrophic consequences. High-speed routes like Kaumualii Highway increase these dangers, and collisions often result in life-threatening injuries or death.

Losing a loved one in a motorcycle crash can bring unexpected expenses and lifelong challenges. However, families may have the right to pursue compensation through a wrongful death claim. This compensation can cover:

• Pain and Suffering: The family may recover compensation for the deep emotional pain, grief, and anguish caused by their loss.
• Funeral and Burial Costs: Compensation can help cover funeral services, burial or cremation, and memorial expenses.
• Medical Expenses: Families may receive reimbursement for emergency care, hospital treatment, and medical costs before death.
• Loss of Income: The claim can include the wages, benefits, and future financial support the victim would have provided.
• Loss of Companionship: Loved ones may seek compensation for the loss of guidance, care, and emotional support.

A brave wrongful death lawyer can guide you through every step of the legal process and fight for the justice and financial support your family deserves.
