(KAIR)--A Leavenworth-area man is identified as the motorcyclist killed on a rural, Platte County, Missouri roadway at the start of the week.

He's named as 38-year-old Kyle Jonsson, identified as a resident of the Lansing/Leavenworth area, in a release from the Platte County Sheriff's Office.

According to the release, Jonsson was found around 20-yards from his Triumph motorcycle when Sheriff's Deputies, around 4:00 Sunday afternoon, were called to Farley Hampton Road, near Baker Road, in rural Platte County. The motorcycle was found in the grass, on the southwest corner of the intersection of the two roads.

Two persons were already there when the Sheriff's Office arrived, attempting life saving measures, which a deputy assumed until EMS arrived to transport Jonnson, who was declared dead after arriving at hospital in the Platte County area.

According to the release, "the cause and circumstances leading up to the [crash] remain under investigation by the Platte County Sheriff- Office Crash Team."
