No other vehicles were involved in the crash, which occurred after the rider lost control of his Harley Davidson outside the McDonald's near East Ridgewood Avenue and hit a guardrail shortly before 8 p.m., Police Chief Kenneth Ehrenberg confirmed.

The victim, whose identity was being withheld pending notification of next of kin, was thrown into a tree, responders said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A single lane temporarily remained open, although the northbound lanes were expected to be closed for a time for removal of the body and the wreckage and a fatal accident investigation.
