Fox Lake police investigating fatal crash in Spring Grove

Fox Lake police are investigating a crash that killed an 18-year-old Indian Creek motorcyclist Sunday in Spring Grove.

Police responded at 6:12 p.m. to the 1000 block of Wilmot Road for a two-vehicle crash between a Suzuki motorcycle and a Dodge van.

Upon arrival, officers found both vehicles with heavy damage.

The 18-year-old motorcyclist had been thrown from the bike and landed in grass on the side of the road. He suffered critical injuries and was taken to Northwestern McHenry Hospital, where he later was pronounced dead, authorities said.

The van driver, a 41-year-old woman from Lake Villa, was treated by paramedics for minor injuries and taken to Northwestern McHenry Hospital.

A preliminary investigation shows the motorcycle was traveling south on Wilmot Road, cresting a hill. The van was traveling north on Wilmot, then turned west into a driveway. The motorcycle struck the front passenger corner of the van.

Neither driver was suspected of being impaired, according to police.
