A 49-year-old Waipahu motorcyclist died in a multiple vehicle accident that closed all Waianae-bound lanes of H-1 Freeway for four hours Thursday night as police cleared the freeway and investigated the crash.

Traffic investigators arrested a 19-year-old Ewa Beach man for negligent homicide after police said he drove a  black 1990 Toyota pickup truck across a solid white line while entering the freeway from Moanalua Road at about 9:23 p.m.

The pickup truck hit a white 2010 Nissan sedan, causing it to careen across the Waianae-bound lanes and hit the Zipper lane barrier, police said.

A 2002 Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by a 49-year-old Waipahu man then hit the back of the Nissan. The man was thrown from motorcycle, which hit a blue 1999 Ford driven by a 19-year-old Honolulu man.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said he was wearing a helmet.

A 19-year-old male passenger in the Toyota pickup truck and a 57-year-old Mililani man driving the Nissan sedan went to the Pali Mori Medical Center in fair condition with injuries.

Police say alcohol and speed may be a factor in the crash on the part of the driver of the Toyota pickup truck. Alcohol and speed do not appear to be a factor for the other drivers.

Police closed all Waianae-bound lanes of the freeway for about four hours, reopening the freeway at about 1:30 a.m.

Police originally diverted motorists off the Waimalu exit, but as the freeway became more and more congested, motorists were asked to exit in Aiea onto surface roadways like Moanalua Road and Kamehameha Highway.

Adding to traffic woes overnight, a car fire on the Likelike Highway closed all town-bound lanes at about 10:30 p.m. at Valley View. Police turned traffic around just before the tunnel on the Kaneohe side of the highway and directed Honolulu traffic to the H-3 Freeway and Pali Highway.

The fatality was the 13th this year compared to 16 traffic deaths at the same time last year.

I understand he was wearing a HOG life Member patch... Godspeed brother.
