Crystal Lake,IL : Wonder Lake man suffers life-threatening injuries in Woodstock crash on September, Saturday 9th 2017

A 20-year-old Wonder Lake motorcyclist remained in critical condition Saturday afternoon after a crash between a car and motorcycle in Woodstock.

The Woodstock Fire/Rescue District was called to the crash just before 7:30 a.m. Saturday on Route 120 near Raffel Road in Woodstock, Fire Capt. Brendan Parker said.


When fire crews arrived, they found a motorcyclist – later identified as a 20-year-old man in a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office – on the ground with life-threatening injuries, prompting an immediate call to Flight for Life, Parker said.

The motorcyclist was taken via Flight for Life to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.

The 24-year-old female driver of the car was identified as being from Woodstock, and she did not need medical attention.

No one had been charged, and the motorcyclist remained in critical condition Saturday afternoon, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Names will not be released unless someone is charged, officials with the department said.

According to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, a 2001 Suzuki motorcycle was traveling east on Route 120, east of Raffel Road.

The motorcycle crossed over the double yellow centerline, trying to pass a line of cars. A 2002 Buick Century was slowing to turn left into a parking lot. As the Buick turned, the motorcycle collided with the Buick, ejecting the driver from the motorcycle.

The driver of the motorcycle was wearing his helmet at the time of the crash.

Route 120 remained closed for about four hours during the investigation.

Members of the Woodstock Police Department and Woodstock Fire/Rescue District assisted.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Major Crash Investigation Unit is investigating the crash.
