A motorcycle operator was killed after a two-vehicle crash in Joliet on Thursday evening.
Officers responded to the intersection of North Larkin and Ingalls avenues about 6:48 p.m. for a crash with injuries, Joliet police said.
A Toyota Camry driven by a 23-year-old Joliet man was traveling north on North Larkin Avenue at Ingalls Avenue, waiting to turn left toward westbound Ingalls Avenue, police said.
The Toyota initiated a left turn and collided with a Harley-Davidson XL1200 motorcycle operated by a 19-year-old man from Joliet traveling south on North Larkin Avenue, police said.
The motorcycle operator was thrown to the ground. He was taken to Ascension Saint Joseph-Joliet, where he later was pronounced dead, police said.
In a news release, the Will County Coroner’s Office has identified the man as Luke Pruss-Knotts, 19, of Joliet. An autopsy was performed Friday, and the cause and manner of death will be determined after its results and police and toxicology reports.
The driver of the Toyota was uninjured.
