Pedestrian dies after being hit by a car

An unidentified pedestrian in his 30s died Friday night after being hit by a car on Nuuanu Avenue north of Vineyard Boulevard, police said.

A 48-year-old Honolulu man was driving a 2002 Audi convertible northbound on Nuuanu at 10:52 p.m. when a man in dark clothing tried to cross the street heading east, police said.

Alcohol appeared to be a factor on the part of the pedestrian, police said. The victim, who was walking outside a crosswalk, was taken to the Queen's Medical Center, where he later died of his injuries.

The death was Honolulu's 61st traffic fatality this year, as compared to 74 last year.
