With seeming so many motorcyclists dying on the road, perhaps it is news that one did not get killed in a weekend Harvard crash.

This is how the Harvard Police Department described it:

TRAFFIC CRASH

Preventing mandatory motorcycle helmets is a fight ABATE has won in Illinois.

On 10-18-15 at 2321 hrs police responded to the 1700 blk of S Division St for a traffic crash.

A 1997 Harley Davidson motorcycle had been travelling northbound on Division St when the driver crashed.

The driver, a 32 yoa male, was subsequently transported to Rockford Memorial Hospital by helicopter with non-life threatening injuries.

Initial reports do not indicate if there was another vehicle involved and the driver was the sole occupant.

This incident is under investigation.
