PEORIA, Ill. – A 39-year-old Manito man died after a motorcycle crash Sunday night in Tazewell County.
Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood says the single-motorcycle crash occurred just after 8:30 P.M. in the areas of County Roads 2600 North and 750 East.
The motorcycle’s operator, Jacob Smith, was initially alert but confused, and taken to OSF Healthcare Saint Francis Medical Center.
Harwood says Smith’s condition rapidly deteriorated, despite resuscitative and surgical efforts, and was pronounced dead just before midnight in the operating room.
He says Smith suffered multiple blunt force head and chest trauma injuries, and severe internal hemorrhaging that was not survivable.
Harwood says toxicology results are pending, and the crash remains under investigation.
