KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police in Lenexa say a 16-year-old male driving a motorcycle died in a crash Tuesday night.

Investigators believe the teen was traveling south on Woodland Road at a speed greater than the 35 miles-per-hour speed limit.

A truck that was northbound on Woodland Road was attempting to turn left on to Falcon Ridge Drive.

The driver of the truck remained on scene and was cooperating with the investigation.
