Crash sends cyclist to Rockford

The driver’s name and why he crashed his cycle aren’t known, but the driver is now in a Rockford hospital with serious head injuries. Terry Eutis is an engineer/ paramedic with Mendota Fire Department. He told AM 1220 WLPO news a driver lost control of his motorcycle and rolled it on North 46 road, northwest of Mendota near the Lee County line Saturday afternoon. Eutis said the driver wasn’t wearing a helmet and was first taken to Mendota hospital then Rockford Memorial. The driver was ejected apparently before the cycle rolled several times.
