Motorcyclist dies after crash on Route 53 near Schaumburg

A Hoffman Estates man died Sunday night after his motorcycle collided with an SUV on Route 53 near Schaumburg.

Illinois State Police on Monday identified the victim as Nilson Geovani Duarta Ulloa, 33. No one else was reported injured.

The crash occurred about 8 p.m. in the local lanes of southbound Route 53 near Golf Road.

Ulloa's Yamaha motorcycle hit the driver's side of a Volvo SUV being driven by a Frankfort woman.

Ulloa was thrown from the motorcycle and hit a metal guardrail, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Illinois State Police blocked off all of the southbound local lanes for hours after the crash so they could investigate. Motorists were required to use the express lanes even if they needed to exit the highway for the tollway or other roadways.
