A 50-year-old man, who was a father of three kids, died after crashing his motorcycle head-on into a semi-truck in Gurnee Monday morning, police and the coroner’s office said.

An autopsy showed that Alex Gamburg, 50, of Gurnee, died of blunt force injuries caused during a vehicle crash, according to Lake County Coroner Dr. Howard Cooper. Toxicology results are pending, Cooper said.

The driver of the semi-truck was uninjured, Gaylor added. The Lake County Major Crash Assistance Team is assisting the Gurnee Police Department with the crash investigation.
