Sheriff’s Office Investigating Serious Motorcycle Accident
A 69-year-old Genoa man has died as a result of a motorcycle versus car crash that occurred late Saturday morning in the 13500 block of Illinois Route 176 in Woodstock.
On July 11, 2020 at 10:42 a.m., the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and Woodstock Township Fire/Rescue District responded to a two vehicle crash involving a 2008 Toyota Corolla and a 2018 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle that had crashed on Illinois Route 176 west of Dean Street in unincorporated Woodstock.
On scene investigation indicated the Toyota had been pulling off to the north side of the roadway to turn around.
For unknown reasons the Harley Davidson drove to the north of the Toyota and struck the rear passenger side of the Toyota causing the rider to be ejected from the motorcycle.
The driver of the Harley-Davidson, the 69-year-old Genoa man, was transported by ambulance to the hospital serious condition.
The driver of the motorcycle was not wearing a helmet.
The driver of the Toyota, a 31-year-old Lisle woman did not sustain any injuries. That area of the roadway is currently closed for the investigation.
The investigation continues by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Investigation Unit.
“The Toyota was pulling off to the north side of the roadway to turn around”?
In a driveway?
Doing a U Turn?
This makes little sense!
Was the report written by one of the bulls of the Sheriff’s Dept’s lesbian junta?
They get a lot wrong all the time.
It’s a sweet 5th column in LE.
It sounds like she cut him off. Read the County Scanner report. People don’t see or hear motorcycles all the time and force them off the road. She needs to be charged.
The Man is Obviously at fault…who does not wear a helmet when your on a bike, reckless.
Following too close and not paying attention is what comes to my mind when reading this article
To the comment above mine.
If one would look up the location on maps & have a sense of direction (coordinates),than the situation makes plenty of sense.
You simply do’nt STOP on a highway to make a u-turn.
Cindy– where exactly did you come to the conclusion that the car cut the bike off?
