The motorcyclist, identified as 19-year-old Angelo Bradley, was taken to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Angelo was the kindest, most loving soul. While dealing with his own struggles, he was ALWAYS there for everyone else and got his friends through some of their darkest times."
