Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:

The driver of a pickup truck was dead and six people injured in Fox Lake after the pickup crossed into oncoming traffic, hitting several motorcycles Saturday afternoon.

The crash happened about 3:10 p.m. on State Park Road about a quarter-mile north of U.S. Hwy. 12, said Fox Lake police Chief Russell Laine. The driver of a pickup that hit several motorcycles on Grass Lake died after the crash. Six people were injured and taken to either Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, or Northern Illinois Medical Center in McHenry.

The truck was headed south on State Park Road as a group of motorcycles was heading north, and the pickup veered into northbound traffic. The pickup hit at least two motorcycles, apparently causing another driver with a passenger to lay down his bike to try to avoid a collision.
