ter a single motorcycle crash at approximately 5:15 a.m. on July 13, in the area of West Grass Lake Road and Kathryn Drive, Antioch Township, according to a Lake County Sheriff’s Office press release. According to the release, Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the area for a report of a motorcycle down. Sheriff’s Deputies arrived and located a 1999 Honda Motorcycle on the south side of the roadway. After a brief search for the driver, the Lake Villa Township man was located in the tree line near the motorcycle, deceased.

The motorcycle struck a tree and the driver was seriously injured. “He was pronounced deceased upon the arrival of paramedics and sheriff’s deputies,” the release stated. An autopsy is being scheduled by the Lake County Coroner’s Office. The crash remains under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Unit. Pending notification of next of kin, the name of the individual has not been released, according to the release.
