A 36-year-old motorcyclist and a child passenger were killed last night when a motorcycle apparently struck a sedan that was attempting to turn left from Ainaloa Boulevard onto Highway 130 in Kea'au, according to Big Island firefighters.

The motorcycle was heading toward Pahoa on Highway 130 around 7:30 p.m. when it struck the sedan. Firefighters arrived to find the motorcycle engulfed in flames and the two victims lying 15 to 20 feet away.

Neither victim showed signs of life at the scene. Both were wearing helmets.
