KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A motorcyclist was killed in a wreck Monday night at the intersection of Gardner and Bellefontaine in Kansas City, Missouri.

Police were called to the scene of the accident around 8:30 p.m.

The investigation revealed a motorcyclist was speeding eastbound on Gardner as a blue Peterbilt semi was making a left turn from northbound Bellefontaine onto westbound Gardner.

As the truck was turning, the motorcyclist ran into the side of the tractor-trailer. The impact sent the operator and the vehicle under the semi, where the motorcyclist was run over.

Police said the motorcyclist died at the scene.
