A 30-year-old motorcyclist who was taken to Queen’s Medical Center in critical condition after he slammed into the rear of a stopped vehicle on the H-1 freeway Thursday night has died.

His name has not been released at this time.

At about 7:50 p.m. Thursday, police said the man was traveling eastbound on the highway in a 2016 Honda motorcycle near the Aiea pedestrian overpass when he and another motorcyclist struck the rear of a 2006 Honda sedan that had stopped on the far left lane of the freeway after the vehicle was involved in a separate motor vehicle collision.

This is the 42nd traffic-related fatality on Oahu compared to 39 at the same time last year.

Police said speed was a factor.

The other motorcyclist, 29, was taken to a hospital in serious condition. A third motorcyclist who was also traveling with them suffered injuries when he fell onto the roadway when he attempted to avoid the second collision. He was transported to the hospital in stable condition. Both motorcyclists were wearing a helmet.

Police have opened a negligent homicide investigation. Anyone who witnessed the crash is urged to call police.
