Kansas City, Mo. ? A suburban Kansas City man is charged in an accident that killed a retired Kansas City police officer.

Jackson County prosecutors announced Saturday that 71-year-old Robert H. Wilson, of Raytown, has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident and careless and imprudent driving.

Motorcyclist Steven Weinberg was killed in the Sept. 17 accident.

Prosecutors said that Wilson returned to the scene about 30 minutes after fleeing and was arrested for failing to obey a lawful order. According to prosecutors, police noticed that damage on the truck Wilson was driving matched the damage to the motorcycle.

Wilson’s bond is set at $50,000.

Kansas City police say Weinberg worked for the department from 1972 to 1995.
