The motorcycle overturned, and Bledsoe was thrown to the roadway. A southbound sport utility vehicle swerved to avoid hitting the motorcycle and struck Bledsoe.
Bledsoe was pronounced dead at the scene.
His 46-year-old passenger, Michelle Bledsoe, was transported to North Kansas City Hospital with moderate injuries. The driver of the SUV was not hurt.
The wreck was reported shortly after 1:30
Traffic was re-routed onto I-435 for more than four hours while authorities worked the wreck scene.
