Man, 51, dies after being hit by pickup truck in Kihei

Maui police have identified a man who died while walking in Kihei last week as 51-year-old Marc Romney.

At about 8:30 p.m. last Monday, Romney was crossing South Kihei Road near Waimahaihai Street when he was struck by a GMC Canyon pickup truck. Paramedics transported him to Maui Memorial Medical Center in critical condition.

The driver of the pickup, a 17-year-old male, was not injured.

Police said Romney, who was known to frequent the Kihei area, died from his injuries at the hospital Thursday. Investigators noted that he was crossing outside of a marked crosswalk when the crash occurred.

Police have not yet determined whether speed, alcohol or drugs were factors in the collision.

The crash marks Maui County’s 12th traffic fatality this year, compared to 15 at the same time last year.
