Chicago, IL (September 19, 2024) – A fatal crash involving a motorcycle and a truck closed a section of a main road in Cicero for about five hours on Thursday, September 19.
The crash happened about 5:40 a.m. in the 3500 block of Cicero Avenue, said Ray Hanania, a spokesperson for the Town of Cicero. Cicero Avenue was closed to traffic between Pershing Road and 31st Street as authorities investigated the crash.
