A man was found unresponsive and rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries after being ejected from his motorcycle during a crash with a van in Fox Lake.
The Fox Lake Fire Protection District, Spring Grove Fire Protection District and Fox Lake Police Department responded around 6:15 p.m. Sunday to the 11100 block of Wilmot Road in Fox Lake for a report of a vehicle crash with injuries.
Fox Lake Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Ted Damos said the incident involved two vehicles.
A Dodge Grand Caravan and a motorcycle collided on Wilmot Road approximately a mile north of Route 173.
Damos said it appeared the motorcycle clipped the front right of the Dodge and the rider was ejected over it.
Emergency crews arrived to find an adult male from the motorcycle who was unconscious and not breathing.
Bystanders were performing CPR when first responders arrived, Damos said.
The man ended up in the ditch line on the west side of the road after being ejected.
Paramedics took over lifesaving measures and transported him to Northwestern Medicine Hospital in McHenry.
He suffered critical, life-threatening injuries. Damos said he did not have an update on whether the victim survived after arriving at the hospital.
The adult female driver of the Dodge was transported to Northwestern Medicine Hospital in McHenry for an evaluation.
The Lake County Major Crash Assistance Team (MCAT) was called to assist the Fox Lake Police Department with the investigation.
Wilmot Road was shut down at Route 173 for several hours.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the Fox Lake Police Department and MCAT.
