Traffic incident involving e-bike closes Kekaha Road

On Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025, at approximately 7 p.m., a 2006 Toyota pickup truck traveling westbound on Kekaha Road collided with an eastbound electric bicycle. The children on the bicycle were transported to Wilcox Medical Center, with one in stable condition. The other, later flown to Kapiolani Medical Center, is being treated for life-threatening injuries. The driver of the pickup truck, a 58-year-old man of Kalāheo, reported no injuries.
