From the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District:
One Airlifted Following Motorcycle Crash
On Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 10:56 a.m., the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District was dispatched to a reported single-vehicle motorcycle crash at the Charles Road and Raffel Road roundabout.
The crash was initially reported by a McHenry County Sheriff’s deputy in the area.
Paramedics arrived and found a motorcycle down in the roadway with two occupants.
One occupant, an adult female passenger who had been ejected from the motorcycle during the crash, was complaining of injuries.
Due to the potential severity of her injuries, a medical helicopter was requested.
The helicopter landed nearby in the parking lot of Woodstock North High School, where the patient was transferred to the flight crew.
She was subsequently airlifted to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with injuries believed to be serious in nature.
The driver of the motorcycle, the second occupant, was not injured and did not require transport to a hospital.
The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under investigation by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.
