Man Dies After Motorcycle Crashes Into Car In Montgomery: Police

MONTGOMERY, IL — A Montgomery man is dead after he collided with a car while riding a motorcycle Tuesday afternoon, officials said.

Police identified the man as Stanislav Chubchev, 33.

"The Montgomery Police Department extends its deepest condolences to Chubchev's family and friends," officials said in a news release late Tuesday.

Police responded to the intersection of Orchard Road and Countryside Avenue at about 1:54 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a call about a motorcycle-versus-car crash.

Detectives determined the motorcyclist was driving west on Countryside Avenue when he attempted to turn south onto Orchard Road and hit the driver's side of a car that was in the intersection.

Chubchev was taken to Rush Copley Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries shortly after, officials said.

Both directions of Orchard Road between Route 30 and Aucutt Road were closed for several hours while Montgomery police and assisting agencies investigated. The closure caused significant congestion in the area, and drivers were urged to find alternate routes until the roadway reopened around 7:15 p.m.

The crash remains under investigation. The driver in the car that was hit is "cooperating fully" with the investigation, officials said.

Police are asking any eyewitnesses to come forward and contact Detective Sergeant Gregory Mayyou at mayyou@ci.montgomery.il.us or 331-212-9091.
