UPDATED 2:45 p.m.
PEORIA, Ill. — A man from Pekin is dead after an accident on Knoxville Avenue in Peoria Sunday night.
Public Information Officer Semone Roth said officers were called to the intersection of Knoxville and Hickory Grove Road just before 8 p.m.
According to witnesses at the scene, a group on motorcycles were headed south on Knoxville when a panel truck going north made a left turn onto Hickory Grove and caused one of the riders to hit the side of the truck.
The victim was then run over by another motorcycle.
Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood says Richard Sally, 38, was taken to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased a short time later.
An autopsy Monday determined multiple blunt force injuries caused the death, and that Sally likely died instantly.
An investigation into the crash continues.
