The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s office is awaiting notification of next of kin before identifying a male pedestrian who died Saturday while walking along Kamehameha Highway in Haleiwa. 

The man was struck by a vehicle about a quarter-mile south of Pohaku Loa Way just after 2 a.m. 

Police said the driver, a Haleiwa man, left the roadway for an unknown reason and struck the pedestrian, who died at the scene. 

Police cited excessive speed as a possible factor. 

This is the 40th traffic fatality on Oahu for 2015, compared to 48 at this time last year.
