Kailua Kona, HI : Police ID pedestrian killed in motorcycle accident on September 2 2016

61-year-old Rhonda Broad of Hilo, was taken to the Hilo Medical Center following the accident, where she was pronounced dead at 10:55 p.m.

Responding to a 7:25 p.m. call, Hilo patrol officers determined that Broad exited an unknown vehicle near the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Makalika. The vehicle left the area and the woman, who walked in the north-bound lane, was struck by a motorcycle traveling north on Railroad Avenue.

The operator of the motorcycle was identified as Lionel Chartrand of Hilo. He was taken to Hilo Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 10:52 p.m.

Chartrand was not wearing a helmet and police believe that speed was a factor in this crash.

Traffic Enforcement Unit officers have initiated a negligent homicide investigation for Broad and a coroner’s inquest investigation for Chartrand.

They have ordered autopsies to determine the exact causes of death.

Officers want to question the occupants of the vehicle that Broad exited.
