On Tuesday, a driver killed a 48-year-old pedestrian in a hit-and-run on South Kihei Road, about 100 feet north of Kauhaa Street, in Kihei.

According to Maui police, it appears the man was walking north within the northbound lane on South Kihei Road when an unknown vehicle, possibly a silver or grey Toyota pick-up truck, was also traveling north in the northbound lane and struck the man.

Police said the driver fled the scene northbound on South Kihei Road without stopping to render aid.

As a result of this collision, the 48-year-old man from Kihei sustained fatal injuries and succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Police are withholding the man’s name pending notification of his family.

The involvement of speed, alcohol or drugs has yet to be determined as the investigation remains ongoing.

Maui Police Department Vehicular Homicide Unit investigators are working to identify the vehicle and driver that fled the scene. Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Cody Tetzloff of the Maui Police Department Traffic Division/Vehicular Homicide Unit at (808) 244-6363 or (808) 463-5800.
