Police say a man suffered life-threatening injuries after being ejected from his motorcycle during a high-speed crash Wednesday morning in Round Lake Beach.

The Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District and Round Lake Beach Police Department responded around 7:21 a.m. Wednesday to Hainesville Road and Clarendon Drive.

Round Lake Beach Deputy Police Chief Wayne Wilde Jr. said his department was dispatched for a report of a single-vehicle crash with injuries at the intersection, which is just south of Rollins Road.

Officers arrived and located a 1994 Harley Davidson motorcycle in the ditch line with its driver lying next to it, Wilde said.
