Iroquois County, IL – A motorcycle crash over the weekend claimed the life of 17-year-old Colson Carley, a senior at Cissna Park High School. The tragic incident occurred just after 4:30 p.m. on Saturday as Carley was traveling northbound on Route 1, just south of 1330 North Road in Iroquois County.
According to Illinois State Police, Carley’s motorcycle crossed the road, entered a ditch, and struck a culvert, ejecting him from the bike. He was transported to Iroquois Memorial Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
A vigil for Carley was held Sunday night in front of Cissna Park High School. Counselors, social workers, and pastors were available at the school Monday to support students and staff in need.
Visitation for Colson Carley is scheduled from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday at Knapp Funeral Home in Watseka.
