KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An 18-year-old motorcyclist died Thursday in a crash along eastbound East 75th Street in Kansas City, Missouri.
The eastbound motorcycle was involved in a crash with a RideKC bus shortly after 11 a.m. The rider of the motorcycle — who has not been identified, pending notification of family — was killed in the wreck.
The crash happened as a westbound bus, which didn't have any passengers at the time, turned into RideKC's 75th & Prospect Transit Center at Alphapointe.
The driver of the bus was not injured in the weck, which closed eastbound 75th Street between U.S. 71 and Prospect Avenue for nearly 2 1/2 hours as police investigated the incident.
The teen is the 20th person to die in a motor-vehicle crash in KCMO in 2022.
