Illinois Bicycle Attorneys of Keating Law Offices are saddened to learn of another bicycle fatality in the Chicagoland area. On the
afternoon of May 2, 2013 a southbound Toyota Camry collided with a
female cyclist who was also traveling southbound on Route 45 north of
Grand Avenue in Lake County, IL. The bicyclist was transported to
Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville where she unfortunately passed away. Tragically, the collision occurred on the victim's 34th birthday.
Details regarding the manner in which the collision occurred have not yet been released. The driver of the Toyota Camry was not injured and voluntarily submitted to toxicology testing. No
citations have been issued at the present time, and the accident
remains under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Attorney Michael Keating of Keating Law Offices gave a presentation in Lake County just last week to the Bicycle Club of Lake County at the club's monthly meeting in Libertyville. The meeting of the Bicycle Club of Lake County discussed the expansive areas of Lake County and the traffic conditions like where this collision occurred.
