EWA BEACH, Hawaii — The Honolulu community is mourning the loss of Maddex Fiesta, a 15-year-old student from Campbell High School, who tragically died Wednesday morning following an accident while riding an electric motorbike.
According to the Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office, Fiesta’s cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head. The accident occurred at approximately 7:45 a.m. at the intersection of Kolowaka Drive and Fort Weaver Road, a busy area in Ewa Beach.
Police reports indicate that Fiesta was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk when he was struck by a vehicle driven by a 75-year-old driver. While Fiesta was in the crosswalk, investigators noted he was moving against a ‘do not walk’ signal at the time of the accident. Authorities also confirmed that he was not wearing a helmet, which contributed to the severity of his injuries.
Fiesta was transported immediately to a local hospital in critical condition, but despite emergency efforts, he tragically succumbed to his injuries. The loss has left friends, classmates, and the broader community deeply shaken.
Campbell High School issued a statement expressing condolences to the Fiesta family. “Our hearts are with Maddex’s family, friends, and classmates during this unimaginable time,” the statement read. “He was a bright, energetic young man whose life was taken far too soon. We are providing grief counseling and support to students and staff impacted by this tragedy.”
Neighbors and community members have described Maddex as a lively teenager with a love for adventure and a warm personality that touched everyone he met. The circumstances surrounding his accident serve as a somber reminder of the importance of helmet safety and traffic awareness, particularly for young riders.
Authorities continue to investigate the accident, and no charges have been announced at this time. The Honolulu Police Department urges anyone with information to contact their traffic division.
A memorial for Maddex Fiesta is expected to be announced by the family in the coming days, as friends, classmates, and community members seek to honor his memory and legacy.
