Motorcyclist Killed, Romeoville Woman, 65, At Fault: Crest Hill PD

CREST HILL — The Crest Hill Police Department said a 65-year-old Romeoville woman was given a traffic citation for causing Friday's afternoon crash that ended the life of a 40-year-old Lockport man who was riding his Yamaha motorcycle, according to police chief Ed Clark.

Over the weekend, Will County Coroner Laurie Summers issued a press release in reference to a scooter fatality, but it was not a scooter, it was a small motorcycle, the chief explained.

On Friday, around noon, the Crest Hill Police Department responded to the intersection of Weber Road and Caton Farm Road for the motorcycle crash. Officers discovered a collision between a white Nissan Altima and a Yamaha motorcycle.

Initial reports indicate the Nissan was traveling southbound on Weber Road and was turning to head eastbound on Caton Farm Road and collided with the motorcycle. The motorcycle was traveling northbound on Weber Road. There were several witnesses on scene who were interviewed.

The driver of the motorcycle, Adam Nikliborc,40, died as a result of the crash. The Illinois State Police provided traffic reconstruction assistance in the investigation.

The driver of the white Nissan was issued a citation for failure to yield while turning left, Clark explained.

"This investigation will continue," he added.
