KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A motorcyclist was killed and another person was injured Tuesday after a head-on crash in Overland Park, Kansas.

Police said the crash occurred shortly before 9 p.m. at West 77th Street and Metcalf Avenue.

It involved two vehicles and a motorcycle.

The motorcyclist, who was identified Wednesday as Aaron M. Martin of Overland Park, died at the scene. One of the other drivers was taken to a hospital, but neither of the other drivers was seriously injured.

The Overland Park Police Department Traffic Safety Unit continues to investigate the cause of the crash, though police said Tuesday night that the motorcycle may have swerved into one of the vehicles.

Metcalf Avenue was closed from 75th Street to 79th Street following the crash.
