Three Hawaii men riding in the bed of a pickup were killed Saturday night when the truck was struck broadside as it made a left turn from a highway into the entrance of a drag-racing venue. The crash occurred just after 9:30 p.m. Saturday on the Mokulele Highway in Kihei on the south side of the island of Maui, police said.
