A fatal single-vehicle crash on Maui killed a teenage driver overnight, the latest in a string of speed-related deaths on Hawaii roads.

  • An 18-year-old man died after his pickup truck went down an embankment and hit a tree in Lahaina.
  • Police say he lost control while speeding.
  • No other vehicles were involved.
  • The crash adds to Maui's traffic death toll at a time when the island is still rebuilding after the 2023 Lahaina fire.
