A 29-year-old Wichita man died early Friday in a motorcycle accident in west Wichita, police said.

Daniel Hayes died at the scene, police said.

Police were called to an injury accident at 3:52 a.m. around the 5200 block of West 13th. They found Hayes on the ground and a citizen attempting life-saving measures, police said.

EMS later arrived and pronounced Hayes deceased.

“Based on the preliminary investigation, it appears that (Haye’s) motorcycle collided with the curb where 13th transitioned into Hoover while he was traveling west,” police said in a news release.

It’s Wichita’s 20th traffic fatality of the year and the third with a motorcycle, police said.
