The motorcyclist killed in a collision Thursday evening has been identified as Kevin J. Launderville of St. Paul.

Launderville, 35, died after the motorcycle he was riding collided with a van about 8:40 p.m., according to police.

Launderville was traveling westbound on St. Anthony Avenue and the van was traveling northbound on Dale Street in St. Paul when the collision occurred. Launderville, who was not wearing a helmet, was transported to Regions Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police are investigating who had the right of way at the intersection, which is controlled by traffic lights, said police spokesman Sgt. Mike Ernster.

The driver of the van stopped and cooperated with police.

Ernster said drugs, alcohol and speed do not appear to be factors in either driver’s conduct. Authorities are investigating whether distracted driving contributed to the collision, and are looking into rumors that the van driver ran a red light, he said.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision to call 651-266-5582.
