Spring Grove man killed in Fox Lake motorcycle crash

A 26-year-old Spring Grove man died Tuesday after his motorcycle collided with a car in Fox Lake, police said Wednesday.

Samuel J. Wiesbrock was passing vehicles while driving north in the southbound lanes of State Park Road at 4:28 p.m. Tuesday when his motorcycle hit a Chevrolet car that was turning on to Kohl Avenue, authorities said.

Wiesbrock was taken to Centegra McHenry Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 5:20 p.m., according to McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski.

Although he was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, an autopsy performed Wednesday revealed that Wiesbrock died from blunt trauma of the head, according to the coroner's office.

No charges have been filed, and the crash remains under investigation by Fox Lake police and the Major Crash Assistance Team of Lake County.
