A 77-year-old man has died from injuries he sustained in a two-vehicle collision in Kaneohe Sunday.

Police said a Mercedes vehicle exited the Hawaiian Memorial Park Cemetery and attempted to cross the Halekou Road intersection when it was struck by a Toyota truck traveling northbound on Kamehameha Highway at about 4:15 p.m.

The 77-year-old Mercedes driver was taken in critical condition to a hospital where he died. Police said a 70-year-old woman passenger was taken in good condition to the hospital.

The Toyota driver, a 46-year-old man, was also taken in good condition to a hospital.

Speed, drugs or alcohol were not factors, according to police.

This is the eighth traffic-related fatality on Oahu compared with five at the same time last year.
