PAHOA, Hawaii: Details on the fatal crash that closed down Route 132 below Nanawale Blvd to just above Lava Tree State Park on Sunday.
Police say 53-year-old Jill E. Peterson of Hilo died from injuries she sustained in a motorcycle crash on Kapoho-Pāhoa Road .2 miles south of the 2-mile marker.
The victim was operating a 1999 Honda motorcycle and traveling north on Kapoho-Pāhoa Road, when she ran off the right side of the road, lost control and struck a guardrail.
She was not wearing a helmet.
Fire Rescue personnel took her to Hilo Medical Center, where she died at 6:48 p.m.
Police believe that speed may have been a factor in this crash. They do not suspect any alcohol or drug use.
