The motorcyclist, who was wearing a helmet and was the sole occupant of the Kawasaki, was transported to Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

Preliminary investigation indicates that a 2009 Kawasaki motorcycle was traveling southbound on Johnsburg Road when it collided with the driver’s side of a 2021 Honda Civic, which was turning north onto Johnsburg Road from Miller Road.
