Motorcyclist dies near Route 53

Schaumburg police worked into the night Sunday trying to determine why a man crashed into a fence on a motorcycle, fatally injuring himself.

Schaumburg Police Sgt. John Nebl said the motorcycle was going south on Frontage Road, south of Golf Road, when it left the street, moving onto the east shoulder and hitting a fence along Route 53.

The driver, a man, was declared dead at the scene, Nebl said. The man's name was being withheld Sunday night while police confirmed his identity and notified his family members.

Frontage Road south of Golf Road was expected to be closed until about 9:30 p.m. Sunday while the Schaumburg Police Traffic Crash Reconstruction Team investigated.

It was not clear what caused the crash, police said. Nebl said it appeared the man's motorcycle was the only vehicle involved in the accident.

"At this time, we believe that's the only one,"ˆÅ¥ Nebl said. "That's under investigation."
