McHenry County Coroner Dr. Anne Majewski released the following press release today:
Meanwhile as I was driving up Barrington Road, just past Route 62 (Algonquin Road) a motorcyclist drove through the red light from the east and was going so fast that he could not stay in the right hand lane.
I drove to the left and braked so hard that everything on the front seat ended up on the floor.
He (couldn’t really tell, but I doubt a woman would have been as stupid) then weaved around three cars on the two lane road ahead of me and disappeared from view.
He hit my car, leaving a minor scratch on the front side of the car above the wheel.
I am memorializing this here for all the motorcyclists who point out that cars hit motorcycles.
This guy was inches away from leaving his blood on the highway.
