Motorcycle crash kills retired KC police officer

RAYTOWN, Mo. (AP) -- A motorcyclist killed in a crash in Raytown is identified as a retired Kansas City police officer.

Steven Weinberg died Monday when his bike collided with a pickup truck on Missouri 350 at about 5:15 p.m. Police said Weinberg and an 80-year-old female passenger were westbound when the truck pulled in front of them from a cross street.

Weinberg swerved his motorcycle to avoid a collision but hit the rear of the pickup.

The passenger was taken to a hospital in serious condition. The other driver initially left the scene but returned and was arrested. No charges have been filed.

Police Captain Rich Lockhart said Weinberg served as a police officer from 1972 to 1995.
