The Kansas Highway Patrol identified 54-year-old Gary Blankenship, of Wichita, as the motorcycle rider killed in a crash Wednesday afternoon.

A crash report says Blankenship and an SUV were both traveling north on I-235 at Zoo, just before 2 p.m. According to the report, the SUV driver changed lanes to the left and got in front of Blankenship before slowing down. There was not enough time to stop and Blankenship hit the SUV and died at the scene.

Nobody in the SUV was hurt.

It’s not clear yet if this was an accident or a possible road rage situation.
