WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police say a 21-year-old Kansas man has died after his motorcycle collided with a car in south Wichita.

The crash happened Wednesday night, killing Gauge Fuqua. Investigators say Fuqua had been operating a motorcycle when a car driven by a 37-year-old woman turned in front of him and the two collided.

Fuqua was pronounced dead at the scene. Officer Charley Davidson says it appeared “speed involving the motorcycle and alcohol involving the driver” of the car contributed to the crash.
