A 25-year-old St. Charles man was killed Friday (July 8, 2016) when his motorcycle crashed into a flatbed truck on IL Route 25 in Elgin — the second fatal motorcycle accident in Elgin in the past six days.

According to a Kane County Sheriff’s Office report, Jordan Hale was driving his Suzuki motorcycle north on Route 25 a little before 2:45 p.m. Friday, when it struck a flatbed Ford L9000 truck that was turning from southbound Route 25 into the parking lot of an industrial park near 9N501 Route 25.

Hale was transported to Presence Saint Joseph Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. The driver and sole occupant of the truck, David Odman 50, of South Elgin, was transported to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin with minor injuries.

The Sheriff’s Office said Hale was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

As of Friday, no charges tickets had been issued, and the crash remains under investigation by Kane County Sheriff’s Office detectives and the Kane County Accident Reconstruction Team.

IL Route 25 was closed between Kenyon Road and Hammond Avenue on Friday, while the crash was investigated.

This was the second fatal motorcycle crash in Elgin within a six-day period.

Susan Desensi, 54, of Bartlett was killed a little before 11:44 a.m. Saturday, July 2, in a crash on IL Route 20 near the intersection of Highland Woods Boulevard. She had been a passenger on a 2006 Harley-Davidson motorcycle driven by a 56-year-old man who swerved to avoid a 2006 Honda Accord driven by an 18-year-old Addison woman that was turning from Highland Woods Boulevard onto Route 20.
