A 55-year-old Tonganoxie man died Saturday in a motorcycle accident on Kansas Highway 16, west of Tonganoxie.

Ronald G. Starcher was riding his motorcycle south on K-16 about 9:40 p.m. Saturday at 234th Street when his 2005 Harley Davidson left the road and entered the grass median, according to Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office reports. Starcher continued south in the median a short distance and entered a ditch, causing him to lose control, reports said.

Witnesses performed CPR on Starcher until Leavenworth County Emergency Medical Services arrived. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:18 p.m. Starcher was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

The sheriff’s office continues to investigate the accident.
