St. Charles man killed in motorcycle crash in Campton Hills

A 40-year-old St. Charles man was killed Friday night when the motorcycle he was driving hit a car on Route 64 in Campton Hills, police said.

Michael S. Smith, of the 200 block of Sunbury Drive, was killed in the crash and his wife, a passenger on the motorcycle, was injured, police said today. Her injuries are not life threatening.

Preliminary blood tests conducted at the hospital where Smith was taken indicated his blood alcohol content was over the legal limit and there was a presence of cannabis, police said in a news release.

The driver of a motorcycle that was traveling with the victim apparently left the scene before police arrived, according to witnesses.

Police responded to the crash at 8:04 p.m. Friday at 41W031 Route 64. Smith was driving a Harley Davidson and heading east on Route 64, when the cycle left the road on the south shoulder, then came back onto the roadway and hit the back of a vehicle traveling in the same direction.

Police say witness accounts indicate both motorcycles where traveling at a high rate of speed and weaving in and out of traffic before the crash.

Smith was taken to Delnor Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:07 p.m., police said.

The driver and passengers of the vehicle that was hit were not injured. They are residents of Geneva, police said.

The Kane County Accident Reconstruction Team is helping Campton Hills police investigate the crash. No charges have been filed at this time.

Police are looking for the driver of the other motorcycle. Anyone with information is asked to call police at (630) 584-0330.
