Pedestrian Hit and Killed in Honolulu

In Hawaii, a family is deep in grief this week after a pedestrian accident.

Local news sources say that a car accident took the life of 28-year-old Frank Iokewe Ryder IV.  He was a son, brother as well as an expectant father.

According to police in Honolulu, Ryder had been walking along the shoulder of Kahekili Highway at around 5 AM.  While he was walking, he was hit by a black SUV.

Maj. Thomas Nitta of the Honolulu Police Department said, "The car was heading southbound. We believe the victim was walking on the Mauka side of the Highway."

When questioned, family members did not know why Ryder was walking on the highway at such an early hour.  His brother said that Ryder had a vehicle and only reason he could think of was that maybe his car was not functional.
