Two men died two other people were injured in three separate crashes on Oahu today, officials said. Two of the crashes were along Kamehameha Highway on the Windward side.

One man died and a teenager was seriously injured in a tractor-trailer crash near Ewa, police said.

The vehicle overturned over on the Ewa off ramp from the Waianae-bound direction on the H-1 Freeway shortly before noon, officials said.

Honolulu Emergency Services Department spokesman Bryan Cheplic said the man, in his 60s, died at the scene at 12:30 p.m. The boy was taken to the hospital in serious condition, Cheplic said.

Police closed the offramp to investigate the crash.

Firefighters responded with two engine companies and a hazardous materials unit to address spilled fuel.

At about 1:15 p.m., a man and a girl were injured in a motorcycle crash near a 7-Eleven in Kaaawa at 51-484 Kamehameha Highway.

The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later died. The girl was at the hospital in stable condition, said Cheplic.

About three hours earlier, a bicyclist, a man in his 50s, was critically injured in a collision with a vehicle at a 7-Eleven in Hauula at 54-138 Kamehameha Highway.

Following the motorcycle crash, police closed Kamahameha Highway in both directions to investigate. The highway was reopened by 2:30 p.m.
