A newlywed couple from Japan went for a motorcycle ride today.
The woman is now dead and her husband is hospitalized in critical condition after their motorcycle crashed.
According to the Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii, the couple is here on their honeymoon.
Emergency crews were called to Kaaawa near the Crouching Lion just after noon today.
"What happened is they decided to go for a motorcycle ride then unfortunately the accident occurred," said Jessica Lani Rich, Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii.
Police say the couple had been riding a 2011 Harley Davidson motorcycle together.
They were heading towards Laie on Kamehameha Highway.
The husband was driving the motorcycle, lost control, and hit a guardrail.
He and his wife were both thrown.
Paramedics took the couple to The Queen's Medical Center -- both in critical condition.
The 27 year old woman died from her injuries, and her 27 year old husband continues to fight for his life.
"When people come to Hawaii they come to celebrate as they did and unfortunately it ended in a tragedy," said Jessica Lani Rich.
VASH has offered assistance to the newlywed's family.
Jessica Lani Rich says the couple is traveling with the woman's mother, aunt, brother and cousins.
They're visiting from Fukuoka, Japan.
"They were towards the end of their trip," said Jessica Lani Rich.
Police say neither the man nor woman was wearing a helmet.
And they do not believe speed or alcohol were factors in the crash.
"It breaks our heart to hear, you know your wedding and honeymoon is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life, and it breaks our heart to hear that this is a honeymoon that ended in tragedy, and a very sad situation," said Jessica Lani Rich.
The City Medical Examiner has not released the woman's name yet.
This is the tenth traffic fatality on Oahu this year.
