A 55-year-old Pekin man has been identified as the person who died Saturday morning in a motorcycle crash near Hanna City.
Peoria County coroner Jamie Harwood says Craig Nelson suffered severe traumatic injuries in a collision with another vehicle at the intersection of Farmington Road and Eden Road.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene of the crash around 10 a.m. Illinois State Police say four people were hospitalized following the collision, including Nelson and his passenger.
According to Harwood, Nelson was not wearing a helmet. He was pronounced dead at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center about 90 minutes after the crash after aggressive life-saving efforts were unsuccessful.
Results of toxicology tests required by state law are pending. Illinois State Police continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
