Bader Nassar was 21 years old. He played soccer for Bethel College. On Thursday evening his motorcycle hit a silver SUV in Wichita. The crash happened at K-96 and North Greenwich Road. Police got the call at 6:54 p.m. on Oct. 22.
Responders tried to save him right there on the road. They could not. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Nassar was an international student at the school in North Newton. He also played for a local group called Wichita Selection.

A 16-year-old was driving the 2017 GMC Acadia. A 41-year-old sat in the passenger seat. Both stayed after the crash. The SUV had come off westbound K-96. It started a left turn onto northbound Greenwich Road. Nassar’s motorcycle was heading west from Greenwich Court toward the highway.
Police say speed may have played a part. The Accident Follow-Up Unit and Critical Accident Team are still looking into it. No other details have come out yet.
Bethel College called Nassar the most uplifting and kind person. They said he left a real mark on the people around him. The school sent thoughts to his family, friends, teammates, coaches and teachers.
Wichita Selection put out its own words. They called him a teammate, a brother and a friend. Soccer brought them together, they said, but the bond went further. They remembered his kindness and big heart. He will always have a place with them.
The crash took place in northeast Wichita. That is Sedgwick County. Bethel College sits in North Newton up in Harvey County. The two spots are not far apart in south-central Kansas.
