One man is dead following a crash between a motorcycle and a school bus Tuesday in the area of the intersection of Cony Street and Pierce Drive near Cony High School.

Jeffery Kyllonen Sr., a 48-year-old Augusta resident and the driver of the 2006 Harley-Davidson, was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger, Kareanne Kyllonen, 47, of Augusta, was transported by LifeFlight of Maine for undisclosed injuries, Augusta police Chief Kevin Lully wrote in a news release.

Ricky Martin, 68, of Augusta, was driving the school bus involved in the crash. No students were on the bus at the time of the crash and no students were directly involved in the crash.

Cony Street was closed to all traffic following the crash around 1:30 p.m. and reopened around 5 p.m.

The Augusta Police Department and Maine State Police continue to investigate the crash and have conducted a reconstruction.

Michael Tracy, superintendent of the Augusta School Department, sent a message to families Tuesday night confirming that no school department students or staff were involved in the crash. He also acknowledged that students or staff may have witnessed and been upset by the accident or the emergency response.

The school department sub-contracts with the national company First Student to provide school transportation.

On Wednesday, a company spokesperson said the company is helping the Maine State Police with its investigation and is conducting an internal review.

“We are saddened by this loss and our thoughts are with the individual’s family and everyone affected,” Brenna Rudisill said via email.

As this matter remains under investigation, Rudisill said, First Student has no further comment.
