Motorcyclist hurt in crash with van in Schaumburg

A 34-year-old Hanover Park man was seriously injured Thursday after the motorcycle he was riding apparently struck the side of a minivan at the intersection of Schaumburg Road and Summit Drive in Schaumburg.

The man was transported to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge for treatment of what were first reported as life-threatening injuries. Hospital staff later informed police that the man’s injuries are no longer life-threatening.

The intersection was closed to traffic from the time of the collision at 7:15 a.m. until 10 a.m.

A preliminary investigation determined that the man’s 2000 Harley Davidson motorcycle was eastbound on Schaumburg Road when it struck the drivers side of a 2005 Toyota Sienna traveling northbound on Summit Drive.

The Toyota was driven by a 44-year-old Schaumburg woman who was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

The Schaumburg Police Department’s Traffic Crash Reconstruction Team is investigating the probability that one of the drivers disobeyed a red light, according to police. The two drivers were the only occupants of either vehicle.

No tickets have been issued as the investigation continues.
