Big Island police have identified a motorist killed earlier this month when a canoe that had broken loose from a trailer crashed through his windshield as 49-year-old Michael Davison of California.

Police said the accident happened about 8:48 a.m. Sept. 6 when a trailer with three canoes got dislodged from the truck that was towing it, crossed the center line of Queen Kaahumanu Highway at Makala Boulevard and collided with the multi-purpose vehicle driven by Davison.

A 36-year-old Lahaina, Maui man was driving the 1999 Dodge pickup truck that was towing the trailer, police said.

Davison was taken to Kona Community Hospital where he died less than an hour later.
