The Kansas City Star
A 21-year-old Shawnee man died after a head-on collision with a car going the wrong way on an exit ramp from Interstate 435 in Edwardsville.
The man was identified as Spencer Buck, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol. He was riding a 2005 Yamaha motorcycle and was wearing a helmet.
The crash occurred about 5:50 p.m. Wednesday on the ramp from northbound I-435 to Woodend Avenue, the highway patrol said. Buck was exiting from I-435 to Woodend when he struck a 2004 Nissan sedan driven by Delores Jones, 64, of Kansas City, the crash report said.
The highway patrol said Jones was driving the wrong direction — northbound in the southbound lanes — of the exit ramp.
Jones might have been injured, but refused treatment.
