A 26-year-old woman was in critical condition Wednesday after she rode her motorcycle off the Northwest Tollway in Elgin and into a guardrail.
The woman was riding with a group of other motorcycles and cars on the tollway near Randall Road at about 9:35 p.m. when she rode onto the median and into the guardrail, Elgin fire Deputy Chief Michael Falese said.
Suffering from head and other injuries, she was in critical condition when paramedics rushed her to Provena St. Joseph Hospital in Elgin, Falese said.
When rescue workers arrived, the woman and her motorcycle were pinned beneath the guardrail. Firefighters had to use hydraulic tools to lift the guardrail to free her, Falese said.
Police continued to investigate the accident late Wednesday night.
