According to a preliminary investigation, about 6 p.m., the Kilauea man was driving south in a Nissan sedan, when he apparently crossed the center line and struck an oncoming Toyota sedan, a county press release stated.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Toyota, a 62-year-old Hanalei woman, was transported to Wilcox Memorial Hospital where she remains in stable condition.
There were no passengers in either vehicle at the time of the crash.

Police continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
This is the fourth traffic-related fatality on Kauai this year.
