While driving by before 3:15 pm, I saw the motorcycle rider laying on his left side on the grass/curb off Palatine road still with helmet, gloves, and jacket on. There were 3 to 4 men surrounding him of Hispanic nationality. (before police and paramedics arrived) One of the men was standing in the street in front of biker, waving at driving by cars to keep going and not stop to help. There was a tan colored sedan car pulled to the side of palatine with it’s hazard lights on, which i believe ti belong to the 4 men.
