Maui police have identified the 44-year-old Wailuku man who died in a motorcycle crash Oct. 11 in Wailea as Matthew Adamson.
The crash happened at about 9:36 p.m. on Wailea Alanui Drive, about one-tenth of a mile south of Okolani Drive, according to the Maui Police Department.
The preliminary investigation found that Adamson was driving a 2015 Harley-Davidson motorcycle north on Wailea Alanui Drive when he lost control, veered to the right and struck a curb.
Adamson was thrown from the motorcycle and pronounced dead at the scene.
Adamson was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Police said speed is a suspected factor in the crash.
The investigation remains ongoing.
The crash marked Maui County’s 10th traffic fatality of 2026, compared with 12 at the same time last year.
