A motorcycle crash in Summit Township, Illinois, left a 48-year-old man identified by authorities as Jason Durre, injured. According to accident reports, the crash happened on Sunday, May 31, at about 10:40 pm.

Reports from the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office stated that the victim was riding his motorcycle west on 1350th Avenue, which is west of Country Club Road. He was moving at high speed and lost control of the vehicle.

This caused him to veer off the roadway before coming to rest in a ditch. Medics transported Durre to Carle Foundation Hospital for treatment of the severe injuries he suffered.

Meanwhile, the police also cited him for operating an uninsured vehicle, expired registration sticker, and failure to reduce speed. There is no further information available about the crash.

The number of motorcycle accidents caused by speeding riders is on the rise and must be curtailed. Motorcyclists must avoid the use of excessive speeds when on the roadway.

Speeding is unsafe and can cause riders to lose control of their bikes. When this happens, they either go off the roadway or crash into other vehicles, leading to severe injuries or death.

Motorcycle crashes also occur when riders overtake other vehicles dangerously. This behavior is unsafe and results in multi-vehicle crashes. Riders must avoid speeding and hazardous overtaking.

Accident reports show that motorcyclists are more at risk of death or injury when collisions occur, hence they have to be cautious at all times. Asides from driving safely, they must also use helmets and other protective equipment when riding.
