HONOLULU

Bicyclist killed after truck collision

A 68-year-old East Honolulu bicyclist died yesterday morning after he was hit by a pickup truck on Kalanianaole Highway near Kaimoku Place, police said.

A 22-year-old East Honolulu woman driving a black 2000 Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck was eastbound on the highway when she apparently attempted to change lanes and may have lost control of the vehicle near Waialae Iki Park, police said.

The truck hit the bicyclist, who had been traveling east in the bicycle lane. The man was pronounced dead at the scene at 8 a.m.

The woman driving the truck and her only passenger, a 2-year-old boy in a car seat, were not injured.

Police said speed was a possible factor in the accident, but alcohol was not. The bicyclist was wearing a helmet.

Police said a negligent homicide case has been opened.

The death is the 50th traffic fatality on Oahu in 2004, as compared to 61 at this time next year.

Big Island men could face federal charges

Two of three Big Island men arrested in September on drug charges related to a shipment of crystal methamphetamine are being held on Oahu pending possible federal drug charges.

William Clifford, 25, of Kaumana, and Sloan Paglinawan, 25, of Keaukaha, were arrested last month in a drug bust in which investigators recovered more than three pounds of ice in a parcel delivered to Hilo on Sept. 11.

A third Big Island man, Mariano Carriaga, 32, of Kaumana, was also arrested and released pending investigation.

The three were arrested at a Waiakea uka residence after they tried to discard the parcel in their backyard. Big Island police said they consider the bust a major seizure.

The investigation continued in California, where federal agents identified the sender of the parcel as Scott William Stadnisky, 29, of Milpitas, Calif., who was arrested on federal drug charges and is being held there.

Officers from the East Hawaii Vice Section, East Hawaii Ice Task Force, state Narcotics Enforcement Division and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration participated in the case.

One of the suspects, a 33-year-old man, was arrested later. The victim refused medical treatment.

A 31-year-old man's co-worker started punching him for no apparent reason, after the two had been drinking beer together at 7:30 p.m. Friday on Maluniu Avenue in Kailua, he told police.

The victim drove himself to a hospital for treatment of a facial fracture, police said. Police arrested the 28-year-old suspect for second-degree assault, at his home in Kalihi.
