Two Killed in a Motorcycle Crash on I-290 Near Hillside, 2015
Around 2 a.m. on June 28, 2015, a BMW motorcycle travelling at high speed with a group crashed into the median near the Mannheim Road exit on I-290 in Hillside, Illinois. Its 41-year-old rider and 21-year-old passenger died, while three cars collided as they tried to avoid a fallen light pole. The passenger's relatives discovered her death after seeing photographs of the scene circulating on Facebook, and her mother later supported a campaign to outlaw photography at serious crash scenes. |

Re: Two Killed in a Motorcycle Crash on I-290 Near Hillside, 2015
Happened in my area so I looked it up, here is the story: "Two people on a motorcycle were killed in a four-vehicle crash on the Eisenhower Expressway early Sunday in the western suburbs. The gray 2010 BMW motorcycle was traveling with a group of motorcycles “at a high rate of speed” on I-290 near the Mannheim Road exit a few minutes before 2 a.m. when the BMW lost control, ran off the road to the left, and struck the concrete median, according to Illinois State Police. When the motorcycle struck the barrier, both the driver and passenger were ejected onto the westbound lanes of the expressway, police said. The motorcycle also struck a light pole, which fell into the eastbound lanes, police said. Three cars — a green 1996 Mercedes, a gray 2012 Toyota and a blue 2015 Toyota— heading eastbound tried to avoid the striking the light pole, but were unable to and crashed. The motorcyclist, a 41-year-old man from Crystal Lake, was not identified pending notification of his family, police said. His passenger, 21-year-old Miranda A. Valles of Downers Grove, was also killed in the crash, police said. No one else was hurt. Traffic was blocked on the expressway in both directions between Mannheim Road and Cicero Avenue until just before 6:30 a.m., police said." The Eisenhower Expressway has traffic on it even at 2 am. There are lots of potholes and bumps due to our previous Irish mayor's family owned businesses using cheap paving materials and pocketing the money. They could have hit a hole or been cut off by another driver. She was from Downers Grove (home of Emo Phillips), he was from Crystal Lake. I had a very competent but asshole boss from Crystal Lake, I never saw him because he was running a small airline as a side business with leased turbo-props, this was around 1994. |

Hehe. You just said the dead parents found out they were dead by the pictures they saw, after they parents were dead. The parents found out their son was dead from the pictures. :) Nice find anyway. |

I like blaming the Irish mayor who embezzled infrastructure funds instead of reckless driving and impact at a high rate of speed resulting in complete transection of the driver. One of the risks of driving a motorcycle at high rates of speed is this. Everyone knows that yet people still do it for fun and living life on the edge. |
