Motorcyclist killed in crash near Libertyville ID'd as Wildwood man
The motorcyclist who died Friday after colliding with a box truck near Libertyville has been identified as a 57-year-old man from Wildwood.
Paul M. Zwiener was driving a 2016 Indian motorcycle north on Milwaukee Avenue about 11:18 a.m. and tried to make a left turn onto Casey Road when he was struck by the truck that was traveling south on Milwaukee, Lake County Sheriff's Det. Chris Covelli said.
Zwiener, who was not wearing a helmet, was thrown from the motorcycle. An ambulance rushed him to Advocate Condell Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy has been tentatively scheduled for Monday morning.
The 46-year-old driver of the box truck was not injured.
No charges have been filed as of Saturday afternoon, Covelli said.
The Lake County Sheriff Technical Crash Investigative Team is working to determine the cause of the crash and the color of the traffic lights at the time.
