A 91-year-old man riding a bicycle on Kauai died after being hit by an SUV, a grim reminder of how dangerous local roads are for older and unprotected riders.

  • The rider was taken to the hospital and later died from his injuries.
  • He was not wearing a helmet.
  • Police say speed and impairment do not appear to have played a role.
